April 30 (Reuters) – World indoor sprint champion Justin
Gatlin said Briton Dwain Chambers deserved the chance to compete
at the London Olympics
after his lifetime Games ban imposed by the British Olympic
Association for doping was overturned on Monday.

“It would be an honour to line up against him in London,”
the American 2004 Olympic 100 metres champion, who is making a
comeback from a four-year doping ban, told Reuters.

(Reuters) – A ruling that would allow British drug offenders Dwain Chambers and David Millar to compete in the London Olympics is the right one, and sends a “strong and powerful statement” regarding the World Anti-Doping Agency’s authority, the chief executive of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) told Reuters.

Sprinter Chambers and cyclist Miller will be cleared to compete in this year’s Games when the Court of Arbitration (CAS) overrules a British Olympic life ban on doping offenders, a source with knowledge of the ruling told Reuters on Sunday.

SALVO, North Carolina (Reuters) – One is the world’s fastest man. The other wants to be.

Triple Olympic champion Usain Bolt and his training partner Yohan Blake are the world’s best 100 meters sprinters. But who will wind up fastest this year?

SALVO, North Carolina (Reuters) – The coach of the world’s fastest man said on Thursday he had no problem with sprinters Dwain Chambers and Justin Gatlin competing in the London Olympics after serving doping bans.

“I don’t believe that somebody should be sentenced to death or banned for life,” Glen Mills, who coaches Jamaican triple Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt, told an international teleconference.

SALVO, North Carolina (Reuters) – Britain’s cool, damp weather is likely to cost triple Olympic champion Usain Bolt the opportunity to break his 100 metres world record at the London Olympics, his coach said on Thursday.

Although Bolt has promised something spectacular at the Games from July 27-August 12, coach Glen Mills said breaking his 100 metres record of 9.58 seconds set in Berlin three years ago might be asking too much.

(Reuters) – USA Track & Field (USATF) ended a 16-month search to replace its former chief executive by naming ex-board member Max Siegel, who has extensive marketing ties to sports and entertainment, to the job on Monday.

Siegel, whose selection comes at a crucial time with the organization preparing for the London Olympics, did not shy away from his predecessor’s stated goal of 30 athletics medals for the American team at the July 27-August 12 Games.
