Should drugs cheat Chambers be allowed to represent GB in anything?

Or do we turn a blind eye because he is one of the best athletes we have?

I personally think he should have been banned for life but....

The cheatin cunt should be banned for life. What happened to his trip into the NFL?

He done the time so I believe now that he is clean and has served his ban then if he is good enough he should represent GB in the world championships

I'd say he served his time so he should be allowed back in, otherwise what was the point on a limited ban?

They were my initial thoughts but then I thought about the likes of Ben Johnson etc and thought no **** em if they cheat and get caught that should be the end.

Chambers looks good but how do we know he has been clean for 2 years? Did he have to provide samples throughout?

What about the sprinters who haven't used but just miss out because their place has gone to him?

My point exactly, whats the point of training clean for years if some cheating cunt can cut corners and take your spot? The sport can either be drug free or drug open, there can be no middle ground.

This sets a bad example for UK athletics, they want to punish drug users yet offer him a place.

It also shows the UK athletics is lacking real quality.

no way should he be allowed he is a cheat what kind of person seeks glory by knowingly using an unfair advantage ,

Chambers cant be that good anyway he cant win with Drugs lol

The guy's done his time, he was given the ban by british athletics, they can't then go and say they begrudingly pick him to represent Great Britain, because he cheated in the past. Chambers whooped everyone else at the qualifiers which proves he's the best we've got, and that's without and performance enhancing drugs, therefore he deserves his place.

He had a two year ban. That's served, he should be allowed back. People make mistakes in life, and everyone deserves a second chance. Roy Jones Jr failed a drugs test, but there's not too much noise about him being banned for life. James Toney did too, same thing. Rio Ferdinand obviously would have failed his drugs test but he decided not to turn up - should he still be playing football?

He's an excellent runner and so should be allowed to compete. He has suffered a lot - as he should - for cheating, and in my eyes his pennance is served.

As he has done his time he should be allowed back.

somebody made the point that if a banker got convicted of fraud they'd never get another banking job. So that being the case Chambers shouldn't be allowed to run again.

The fact he's served his time means that he's well within his rights to continue running. This is something Athletics needs to take a long hard look at.

I'd be happy for him if he won a medal.

i think a lot of you are missing the point fellas

yes he has done his time however he's banned for life in the olympics. we should be giving our younger athletes valuable experience in this olympic year so we have a better chance at competing during the summer in beijjing

Exactly. Chambers is in the sport for one reason....Chambers, not GB but Chambers.

He's in the sport to prove a point, that he's still one of the best, he's getting wayyyyy less money than he was previous to his ban as a lot of sponsors wont fund him no more. I would say give these young guys a chance if they were good enough, but if a guy who is away from the sport for a few years, comes back and beats everyone it just proves how shit the talent is coming through anyway. The youth will get a chance anyway as a lot of the european track grand prixs aren't going to allow Chambers to run at their events.

He done the time so I believe now that he is clean and has served his ban then if he is good enough he should represent GB in the world championships

I agree.

He ****ed up and he knows that. He's now clean and should be given this chance to redeem himself.

I agree.

He ****ed up and he knows that. He's now clean and should be given this chance to redeem himself.
but he can never run at the olympics again... so in an olympic year what is the point of picking him in our team? surely we should give his spot to a younger guy who will benefit from the experience

he should be banned for life the cheating scumbag, he wont be allowed to go to the Olympics thankfully, how will the other members of the relay team feel as they had their medals taken off them because of this cheating twat.
He pissed of the states so he miss a year of dope testing. he even said that no athlete can win unless they cheat.

the organisation who hosts 51 of the top European track meetings have banned him from their events so he will be making no money from sponsors lol.
no one found cheating should be allowed to ever compete again.
found cheating should be allowed to ever compete again.

Yeah I suppose thats true. Im not arsed if he runs or not, aslong as Craig Pickering gets in the team. I like watching him.

I agree.

He ****ed up and he knows that. He's now clean and should be given this chance to redeem himself.

he forfitted his chances when he decided to seek victory by cheating IMO

notice how they never asked for Linford Christy's opinion, he was another cheating twat who should have all his medals taken off him.

ok fellas lets bring this back to boxing just for a sec....

who here thinks RJJ and Toney's achievements should be reduced/take away because of their drug abuse?

but he can never run at the olympics again... so in an olympic year what is the point of picking him in our team? surely we should give his spot to a younger guy who will benefit from the experience


Thats exactly what i was gonna say...

His just taking up a spot and depriving the sport from young bloods getting a chance....

ok fellas lets bring this back to boxing just for a sec....

If its black and white then yes, all cheaters should be banned and there achievements written off as how can we trust them again and what they did in the past?
Unfortunately its not black and white, some sportsmen get forgiven, some get long bans, some short bans and some get lifetime bans so.......

BTW taking performance enhancing drugs is not a mistake, a mistake is a drunken one night stand or peaking over at someones paper during a exam, taking performance enhancing drugs is planned and calculated and its done over a length of time.

Linford Christy was loved by the whole nation when he won the Olympic medal, and when he was found out to be a drugs cheat a lot of people still chose to give him work as a coach and a TV pundit, he even hosted an early morning gardening gameshow on the BBC fortunately he has since been given the push and rightly so, he is now trying to get a job mentoring young athletes for the London Olympics but athletes like Paula Radcliff and former athlete and TV commentator Brendan Foster have stated their objections this has scupper’d his chances. He like Chambers never came out and apologised to anyone over their disgraceful behaviour, these people never received the same leper like status which Ben Johnston achieved, they are just as bad has him so why don’t they get the same treatment.
Marion Jones the American scumbag cheater like her husband tried to fool everyone and almost got away with it.
At one time everyone pointed the finger at Russia, East Germany and more recently China as the nations who cheat their way to success, a whole Chinese woman’s swimming team were caught, everyone could tell, the women were ****ing huge. Now Britain and USA seem to be leading the world in cheaters.
I don’t have to mention the tour de France, it’s a giver that everyone is at there.

Question, do we now trust any athlete who says they are honest ?.

in spritning there is a lot of drug use. i have ehard of guys that havent gone to small compeitions but then go to big ones and get top 3. i was always suspicious of them. they don't even collect the prize money for small competitions because they will need to do a urine test. ****ed up

well to be honest with you, drwayne did serve the 2 years, but he has to pay back what he won. i think i saw that on a sports show with gabby whats her name. for him to coem abck he needed to repay what he won. not sure if he has done though.

Is he worse than Ben Johnnson ?

Is he worse than Ben Johnnson ?

he is bad but the sad thing for him he didnt even win any gold medals solo lol.

Who isn't using steroids??

You're pathetic, naive ponces if you think he should be banned for life.

Not everyone is a cheating cunt. Your naive if you think so.

Obviously most athletes because there are ****ing drug tests???

So are you defending cheating? If so, who is the ponce?

Obviously most athletes because there are ****ing drug tests???

I hate naivity.

I agree not everyone is using drugs, but anyone who wins we seem think they are, so most people suspect they are cheating.
Christine Ohuruogu was she just a thick cunt or did she have something to hide, she only lived less than 40 mins from the test centre and when they contacted her she said she couldn't make it, when you live that close to the place you should be at and knowing it's you're last chance for a test with you're whole career at stake you think you would make the effort, unless you are completely thick as shit or have something to hide, Rio Ferdinand did the same, ran past the testers and fled to London to see a blood specialist before getting tested, now after the twats ban everyone is sucking his cock.
