it was when he was banned, he was over in europe trying to earn a living as a american footballer, away from his family in a grim hotel, he looked pretty depressed, made a few silly comments, and then the studio panel ripped into him something rotten, of course the Mail and other self rightous rags destroyed him in the papers the next day, was pretty hard to watch such was the one sideness of it all

There is a book out called the dirtiest race in history that deals with the Seoul 88 100m , 6 out of that 8 finalists have been subsequently implicated in drug use including Christie & Lewis and its an insight into that sport . At least chambers accepted his guilt but the fact we have a 'drugs cheat' who's 'offence' is apparently airbrushed out of his history involved in coaching and still celebrated is a bit frustrating

I watched the Storyville programme of it on BBC4 couple of weeks ago. Not even funny how that *ginseng* swigging phoney tried to wriggle off the hook. As you say, at least Chambers put his hand up and did his porridge when he was caught.

Thought the programme was quite interesting , did you see the way they spoke about athletes on HGH needing to wear braces on their teeth then cut almost immediately to an interview with Lewis slamming the drug cheats but with a brace fitted

he ran 9.84 when doping

At his best, but there are alot of 10.0X times in 2003 when the dung started to hit the fan....Its ok though, its nice to see that hard work and training can match a doping program from the good ol' US of A.

Plus, everyone knows that when you hit your mid 30's (he's 34?) that you get faster....

I'm just talking crap over my coffee this morning waiting for more of that Ennis gal to throw, who does, in fact look fantastic. The only drug she's on is pure sexiness.

He's only 18. Mental stuff. Well done that man.

Definitely. Is obviously the world junior champion and hasn't cracked 10s yet. But he has four years of mental, physical, and pubescent growth to improve his time by .25 sec to be a serious contender.
