Chambers set for Olympics

The court of arbitration for sport has reached a verdict on the dispute between the British Olympic Association and the World Anti-Doping Agency and, as was widely expected, the ruling has not gone the BOA's way. In fact it is understood the CAS ruling is unequivocally in favour of Wada. The news leaked out on Sunday, but will not be confirmed until 3pm on Monday.

While Chambers and Millar can now prepare to try to win Olympic selection at their trials in June and July, the next step for the BOA will be to remove the bylaw at a full board meeting. Not that it is willing to let the matter slide altogether. Judging by its previous comments, the BOA is likely to argue that its strong moral line has been defeated on a legal technicality. Wada would dispute that. Both parties are due to go public with their views on the ruling on Monday afternoon.
