dwain chambers just doesn't seem to want to go quietly does he? uka have after what i gather was intense leagal pressure relented on their vow to stop dwain chambers from competing in the world indoor trials. the arguments seem to centre on whether or not he kept the testing authorities notified of his whereabouts during his year out of the sport when he competed for nfl europe. each side seems to blame the other for what is going on saying it was the other that took him off the drugs test registration list. the rules say you have to be registered for 12 months before you can compete in a gb vest. legally i think the law is on the side of dwain chambers, because he has served his ban and he wasn't competing during the 12 months that he was off the register. however morally i think it is wrong that dwain chambers should ever be allowed to compete again let alone in a gb vest because not only has he been caught taking drugs but he has taken the piss out of the sport saying that it had slapped him in the face etc etc. some were inclined to be sympathetic to him because it seemed that he had innocently taken a substance thinking that it was legal and it wasn't. i believed him on that but not now!
last night saw a return to aztec west for the first time in two months and it was the windiest i have ever known. i still managed times of 5:42, 5:33, 5:35 and 5:37 despite running the first half of the course in to a headwind. not many were there last night and as seems the norm now i was heading the 2nd group, behind rob and craig and a few other youngsters. i just hope i have a bit lfeft for saturday!
