That is a very very good point The answer is no, the selectors will have autonomy who they wish to represent them Chambers has done himself a very public good service and demonstrated his good character more than most athletes ever do so this should probably mean he will be a favorable if not controversial selection | ||

Member 3366, 247 posts SQ 200, BP 150, DL 230580.0 kgs @ 92kgs UnEq | I think the British public will say "no" in a faux shocked voice while thinking inside "well he is actually one of our better track and field medal chances, so maybe we could turn a blind eye just this once!" | ||

 does 'bench only' comps ...LOL Member 1469, 377 posts | Chambers should go and due to the fact he was chosen months ago to train with relay team And the percentage of the public that dont want him to go are bone idol muppets who need to look at the bigger picture Great news BOA lost | ||

LOL at the phrase "turn a blind eye" and it's ironic placement Just LOL The "blind eye" has been turned time and time again with this now completely abolished, unjustified and unfair BOA rule Even if it's only a change on paper... It's a victory for equality and fairness | ||

 he's got betty davis eyes Member 1684, 6001 posts SQ 250, BP 186, DL 291727.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | JC said: yet, they dont dissaprove of his selection for World, Euro & Commonwealth games!? I think if the media left it alone they wouldn't be that bothered either way. The news was leading with "Convicted drugs cheat Dwayne Chambers" on the TV the other day. They seem to love tarring PEDs with the dirty brush. The media never said much about it leading up tp the other comps, so the public didn't care. Now its on the news and in the papers they may think they are expected to feel something about it one way or the other, at least until some celebrity has an affair and they can vent their outrage at that instead | ||

I think it would be a real shame if they didn't pick him. Mikey, I too enjoy Michael Johnson's commentary. Always thought that was a great signing for the BBC. | ||
