 Chambers won silver at the 2008 World Indoor championships |
Sprinter Dwain Chambers has been invited to compete in a meeting in Germany on 28 June. The 30-year-old's two-year ban in 2003 for doping offences has made promoters reluctant to offer him races. But Heinz Husselman, who is organising the Biberach meet, told the Schwabische newspaper: "Chambers deserves a second chance." Chambers claimed World Indoor silver earlier this year but has since tried his hand at rugby league. He has previously also attempted to forge a career in NFL Europe without success.  | 606: DEBATE |
Chambers is currently fighting the British Olympic Association lifetime ban which stops him competing at the Games in Beijing in August. He is helping British anti-doping authorities by providing information on his experience to aid their battle against drugs in the sport. But he faces a battle to restore his reputation and gain invitations to some of Europe's major meetings.
