Dwain Chambers has lost his appeal to run in the Olympics.
Best thing I've heard in days!
He knew the rules and yet deliberately broke them but doesn't like the punishment, well that is just tough. I am a firm believer that once you have served your time you, you have served your time but this ban was known before he started abusing the system (cheating to win over his worthier opponents); he knew the risks but didn't believe the rules should apply to him. In fact until today he still thought he was above everyone else, perhaps he will learn humility now (not likely).
Will this hurt the UK in the Olympics? In medal terms maybe, in the ethical values and underlying standards that make Britain what it is this decision has done wonders.
A hearty well done to the panel that threw out this travesty of egotistical whining.
