...fan had dreaded was revealed; Dwain Chambers’ ‘B’ sample had tested positive for the now infamous illegal drug THG. Despite stating his innocence, Dwain knows that his case of ‘ignorance’ of not knowing that he had been given it will not stand up against the athletics governing body, the IAAF, and their strict drug laws.
