Chambers breaks 10-second barrier again

Dwain Chambers of Great Britain recently clocked a championship record 9.99 seconds to win the men's 100 meters at the European team championship in Bergen.

Frenchman Christophe Lemaitre with 10.02 and seconds and Italy's Emanuele Di Gregorio with 10.20 seconds occupied the second and third positions, respectively.

From in.reuters.com:

It was Chambers's best performance since he ran 9.99 at the 2001 world championships and was 0.02 seconds outside his personal best, set in Seville in 1999.

The 32-year-old was banned from athletics for two years in 2003 for testing positive for steroids. He returned to competition in 2006.

Chambers is expected to compete at the European championships in Barcelona in July.

At the end of the first day of in the team championship, Russia led Britain by 209 points to 188. The event concludes on Sunday.

The woes of Chambers related to use of steroids seem to have ended now for good and the star athlete is all set to prove critics wrong again.
