Chambers loses Beijing battle
Dwain Chambers today lost his High Court bid to be allowed to compete at next month's Olympic Games in Beijing.
Mr Justice Mackay refused to grant an injunction to temporarily suspend a lifetime ban on the sprinter competing at the Olympics.
The ban was imposed by the British Olympic Association (BOA) because of his self-confessed past use of performance-enhancing drugs.
The judge issued his ruling this morning after spending yesterday listening to the conflicting arguments over the athlete's attempt to win an injunction suspending the bylaw before a full trial of the issues in March next year.
