the tension between Dwain Chambers and the British Athletics Federation. The sprinter indeed seems determined to return to competition in an attempt to qualify in the 60 meters at the World Indoor Championships in Valencia (7-9 March). Already in 2006, served his two-year ban for doping, Chambers returned to competition and won the European gold with the 4x100 relay team in Gothenburg. This time, however, federal managers would avoid embarrassing situations and would seek a way to exclude it forever from the national team.
The solution would be to extend to all competitions rule which prohibits a national ban for doping to represent Great Britain at the Olympics. Meanwhile, organizers of the Southern Counties meeting Saturday, January 19 denied the inclusion of Chambers.
