I am so glad that Dwain Chambers has not had his ban lifted for the Olympics.
He had a lifetime ban for drugs, and that should remain. If not, it gives a green light to any other british athlete to be able to take drugs and compete as a precedent would have been set.
Justice has prevailed in my opinion.

I agree Jan. I would have been very surprised if he had won

I totally agree.
When he took those drugs, he knew the risks, and just because it was a few years back, it shouldn't mean he can compete.
Imagine what sort of message to youngsters it would have sent out had he won today.

I'm glad he's banned. If he had been allowed to run it would have meant that any kids watching would think it doesn't matter if you take drugs, serve your 2 years and you can carry on as if nothing has happened.

I think it's a disgrace that teachers are to be allowed to search pupils for alchohol and drugs.
If we paid teachers a decent wage they would be able to buy their own.
