Dwain Chambers has been banned for two years following a positive drugs test.

Dwain Chambers has been banned for two years by UK Athletics after he was found guilty of failing a drugs test.

Chambers failed an out of competition test for the banned steroid THG (tetrahydrogestrinone) and now faces two years out of the sport, but does have 60 days to appeal.

Chambers, the European 100 metres champion, failed the test on August 1 2003 and has been banned after being found guilty by a UK Athletics disciplinary hearing on February 19.
