Odd to confess
Maybe they were going to test him and he
“ fessed up” ?
Quite sad all round really.
Shows how messed up his priorities must be to cheat at something frankly so meaningless.
If they would have tested me at Ibiza, or the weeks beforehand, they’d have found ample amount of chocolate. And stress from work.
Good god
If they’d have tested me the last time I was in Ibiza …?!
I’d have blown the machine up
maybe he just wanted his money back from the supplier…
The people that sell that stuff don’t do refunds!
well it didn’t seem to do him much good…
Gb Qualifier ?
I guess if he’d have won his age group at worlds then you can see some “ enhanced improvement “
Being 50/100 in your age group ( doped is sad AF)
I wonder if he will race again after his ban?
Don’t think he even made top 50…
Dwain Chambers
46 year old natty now?
No?!
And racing with some of the best youngsters in the UK.
Nothing to see here, please move along ![]()
Athletics weekly:
Was he not done for peds previously ( twice?!)
This is just insane.
Just caught the once for THG, but was definitely long term use. Victor Conte of BALCO fame was his “nutritionist” but Chambers claimed he thought it was “just a supplement”. Contradicted himself years later and also admitted EPO use but dont think he was ever banned for his later admissions.
that’s a good reason not to tune in…
And from the same Athletics Weekly write up, his advice for other aging athletes:
Train less and recover more,” he told AW. “It took me two years to figure that out. Now I train twice a week. My recovery between runs is longer. And for once I’ve started to work on my nutrition. Due to my genetic make up I never had to, but I now realise the importance of good food now."
Did you edit out the “wink wink” emoji???
What you don’t hear about Chambers (except from me on here obvs) is that he gave UKAD, with the help of Conte, how athletes cycle through different PEDs through their training cycles. One basic plan for power athletes and one for endurance athletes. UKAD weren’t interested and just wanted names of other dopers. Like they’re all on a WhatsApp group. The info Chambers and Conte gave allows for trageted testing out of competition. I can’t think of a good reason UKAD wouldn’t want that.
What’s the verdict?
He served his ban and he’s come back. Some Cyclists came back into the fold didn’t they
