Britain stripped of relay medal

  Britain was stripped yesterday of its silver medal in the 400-meter (4x100) relay at last year's World Championships after sprinter Dwain Chambers decided not to appeal his two-year doping ban.

  Chambers, the European 100-meter champion, tested positive for the steroid THG last summer and was handed a two-year ban by the IAAF on February 24.

  He declined to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

  The International Association of Athletics Federations said yesterday that Britain would forfeit the relay silver medal from the world meet in Paris in August.

  Chambers ran the anchor leg in the relay. Christian Malcolm, Darren Campbell and Marlon Devonish were the other runners in the relay.

  The United States won the relay gold medal.

  Brazil replaces Britain as the silver medalist, with the Netherlands taking bronze.

  The IAAF said all of Chambers' performances would be annulled from the date of his positive test - August 1, 2003. The out-of-competition test took place during training in Germany.

  Also voided were Chambers' fourth-place finish in the 100 meters at the World Championships, and his fourth place in the 100 at the World Athletics Final on September 13.

  Chambers' ban lasts until November 6, 2005. Under British Olympic Association rules, he is also banned for life from the Olympics.
