Abstract

DWAIN CHAMBERS was told last night that he would not be able to run on the lucrative grand prix circuit in Europe as a new row exploded over who coached him to World Indoor Trials glory. As athletics spent a day reeling from the return of drugs cheat Chambers to the British team, the disgraced sprinter found his route to fresh riches blocked by the promoters of some of the Continent's biggest meetings. The 29-year-old Londoner has agreed to repay more than £100,000 to the IAAF and the organisers of meetings at which he earned cash while running using drugs. He tested positive in 2003 for THG, but after serving his two-year ban he admitted that he had been on the steroid for the year previous to that, a period in which he won a major title and cashed in on the grand prix scene.
