UK Opinion Piece: "Dwain Chambers has done more than enough to deserve forgiveness"
Chambers tested positive 11-years ago and admitted and apologized for cheating. His former coach Stuart McMillan said, "In a world where the default setting for a doping positive is denial, Dwain did not only own up to his mistake, but he went out of his way to atone for it. It is a real shame that now, over a decade later, he is still unable to make the living in his sport that he deserves to – especially when I see so many others who are doing so – many of whom have never admitted guilt, and many of whom have never lifted a finger in reparation." Chambers finished 6th in the 60.March 9, 2014

Three More Gold Medals For USA On Day 3 Including A WR In The 4x400
The men's 4x400 ran 3:02.13 to set an official WR, although it's not the fastest time ever run as a US team that included Jeremy Wariner ran 3:01.96 in 2006, but it wasn't ratified as there wasn't drug testing. The women's 4x400 also won gold with an AR of 3:24.83 and Omo Osagha won gold in the 60H. Overall, USA won 12 medals (8 gold) at these championships.March 9, 2014
