Chambers won the 60m trial in Sheffield and joins the team despite the UK Athletics selection committee's attempts to block his inclusion.

The 29-year-old Londoner has returned to the sport following a two-year ban after he was tested positive for designer steroid THG in 2003.

After announcing that Chambers was in the team, UKA's World Indoors selection committee issued a strongly-worded statement.

It said: "Based on his performance at the Norwich Union World Trials, the Selection Committee has selected Dwain Chambers for a place in the 60 metres at the 2008 World Indoors in Valencia.

"In taking this action, however, the selectors wished to issue a statement, which made clear their concerns.

"The Committee was unanimous in its desire not to select Dwain. Taking him to the World Indoors deprives young, upwardly mobile committed athletes of this key development opportunity.

"Our World Class Performance Programme is focused on achievement at Olympic and World level. On this basis, it is extremely frustrating to leave young athletes at home; eligible for Beijing, in possession of the qualifying standard and committed to ongoing participation in a drug-free sport.

"In contrast, we have to take an individual whose sudden return, especially when considered against his previous actions and comments, suggests that he may be using the whole process for his own ends."
