Chambers on top of the world

DOHA, Sunday - For a sprinter denied access to many of the world’s main athletics meetings, Dwain Chambers has done a good job in proving his many detractors wrong by winning the world indoor 60m title.

The 31-year-old Briton outclassed the field at the IAAF World Indoor Championships on Saturday, blasting his way to a season lead of 6.48 seconds ahead pf American Michael Rodgers and Antigua’s Daniel Bailey.

It was his first senior world title and marks a remarkable comeback from serving a two-year suspension for using a steroid he incurred in 2003.
