Dwain Chambers has lost his case

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics/athle tics/7503792.stm

British sprinter Dwain Chambers will not be able to run at the Olympics after he lost his attempt to overturn his lifetime ban.

The 30-year-old took his case to secure an injunction against the British Olympic Association by-law to the High Court, but the ruling went against him.

Under BOA rules, the sprinter was banned from future Games after testing positive for the steroid THG in 2003.

Chambers had argued that the ban was an unfair restraint of trade.

But Mr Justice Mackay refused to grant an injunction to temporarily suspend the lifetime ban before a full hearing in March next year.

In his summing up, Mr Mackay said Chambers' right to work was not a good enough reason to overturn the ban.

Good result - drugs will not be tolerated

or

Bad Result - he has made mistakes, been banned but a lifetime ban is too long.
