Banned Chambers set to come clean
Published Date:
16 May 2008
Dwain Chambers is likely to decide in the next few days whether to challenge his lifetime Olympic ban by taking legal action against the British Olympic Association's by-law.
Chambers will confess to anti-doping chiefs today that he was on an astonishing cocktail of seven banned drugs in 2003.
The British sprinter tested positive for the designer steroid THG in August of that year, and received a two-year ban.
But it has now been revealed he was also taking human growth hormone, the blood-boosting drug EPO, insulin, a testosterone/epitestosterone cream, a drug called modafinil used to promote alertness, and liothryonine, a synthetic form of thyroid hormone.
Chambers is meeting UK Sport's anti-doping chief John Scott as part of his campaign to come clean, and hopes to gain a place on the British Olympic team.
