Reading all of the information on Chambers 2nd 100m comeback leaves me in 2 minds.
1) He has served his punishment and is coming back rightfully and if he achieves the times, he should represent the UK
2) He cheated and cost many others glory and money by doing so and should be banned from the team. He could cheat again and it's not a fair playing field

I'm more in the 2nd train of thought, but wondered what other people think?

He should be banned for life no question.

He didn't accidently take drugs he knew exactly what he was doing and had the audacity to proclaim himself clean when competing.

So what if he might not be on it now, his physique has the benefits from the drugs that he took which enabled him to train harder and longer and recover faster. Thats still gonna be there in some shape or form so for me he's still benefiting from the drugs.
