Chambers decision on Friday

Dwain Chambers will not find out if his lifetime Olympics ban will be lifted until Friday, the High Court judge hearing his case has confirmed.

The sprinter is seeking a court order to temporarily suspend a ban on competing in Games events imposed by the British Olympic Association because of his past use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Jonathan Crystal, representing the 30-year-old athlete, is trying to convince Mr Justice Mackay that the BOA bylaw is unfair, contrary to competition law and an unreasonable restraint on trade.

But after hearing Crystal's arguments in favour of Chambers being allowed to compete in Beijing next month, Justice Mackey confirmed there would be no decision until Friday.
