Baulch, a 400m relay Olympic silver medalist in 1996 who is now a part-time sprint coach with Bradford Bulls, expects Castleford trialist Chambers will be a target for rough treatment in the sport.

Baulch told the Daily Mail: "Because he's a name, they're going to be taking him out for fun. They will want to hurt him to say: "Why have you come into our sport?'"

He added: "They will see it as disrespectful. It's like me picking up a tennis racket now and playing at Wimbledon."

As for Chambers' situation, after he completed a two-year drugs ban from athletics in 2005, Baulch said: "He's in a situation that he's brought on himself.

"Dwain's a lovely guy but nice people do stupid things. He made a very silly choice in his life."
