The 29-year-old, who UK Athletics reluctantly allowed to compete at the event, ran in lane three and powered through the final with a season's-best time of 6.56 ahead of Simeon Williamson in second.

UKA had attempted to prevent Chambers - who served a two-year suspension after he tested positive for tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) in August 2003 - from competing as they claimed he had retired to take up a career in gridiron, but the athlete maintained this was not the case.

Chambers said he hoped to be selected to compete in Valencia after the victory.

"I'm going to let my legs do the running and the lawyers do the talking," he told BBC2.

"I would like to believe that the selectors would do the right thing and let me compete. It is my goal to compete in the World Indoors and this race is one step on the ladder to doing that.

"Drugs are wrong and I feel I have served my time and shown that I can come back and win races as clean so I feel I am a good example to people.

"A lot of things have been said and maybe the media have put me under pressure but the support I have received from the public here was fantastic.

"I kept my cool on the track and came out first so I am happy with that.

"The support of everyone here meant a lot. I acknowledge I have made a mistake in the past and I want to move on with my life and enjoy running again."
