Fair do's...

I take no particular position on what is going on at present concerning Dwaine Chambers, but what I do think is that he is being held responsible for matters which are nothing to do with him - and even more bizarrely, the people who are holding him responsible, are those who are themselves responsible! You may have seen the spokesman for UK Athletics bemoaning the fact that they had to pick him for the World Indoor Championships because the rules gave them no choice. But who made those rules - they did! And then the spokesman went on to make the perfectly valid point that, as Chambers is banned from competing in the Olympics, his selection for the Indoor Championships is effectively denying valuable international experience to some other athlete who would be available for the Olympics. But who imposed the Olympic ban? You've guessed it - they did. The situation, however unwelcome, is entirely one of their own making, and to try and shift the blame for it onto Chambers beggars belief.
