Dwain Chambers

As Chambers has been found to be guilty, pending any appeal, may I suggest that the media do not employ him as an 'expert' for the sport that paid him so handsomely?

Indeed, the filthy cheating scum should be banned from all meets for life as he has clearly been on the dope for years!

Good riddance.

He doesn't need media work though - he's going to play American Football apparently!

Nandrolone? That's soooo yesterday's news. THG, now that's a real man's steroid apparently and that's what our Dwain was caught using.

It would hardly be a great idea for the BBC to have him on their commentating team...however, really you never know...!

Along with Regina Jacobs. Call me what you like but a 40 year old breaking a world record in a performance sport would certainly get me suspicious!!

It is quite clear to me that the application of the law and the administration of justice are totally different things.

It has been done. He cheated and is banned from Olympic competition. That's the way it should stay.

My apologies, perhaps I should have typed 'let's hope the injustice endured by Chambers will be overturned when common sense prevails.'
