British sprinter Darren Campbell angry at losing two medals
British sprinter Darren Campbell is angry for losing two medals because of Dwain Chambers' doping abuse and said it was behind his decision to boycott GB's European Championships 4x100m in Gothenburg.
Darren Campbell's 2002 relay gold and 2003 world silver were cancelled because Dwain Chambers had used THG performance-enhancing banned drugs.
"I felt that the fact that I have lost two medals because of what occurred with Dwain, it wasn't appropriate," Darren Campbell told a London radio station.
"I made my feelings clear to the management and I don't really want to discuss it too much further," Darren Campbell added.
It is thought that Darren Campbell did not want Dwain Chambers in the team because of his two-year ban for taking steroids, however, he has called on Chambers to expose the people who introduced him to the drugs in the first place.
Darren Campbell added: "I stood by Dwain with regard to not feeling that he was solely accountable.
"I just felt that in return he should really expose the people that took him over there so we can protect another youngster from getting into that situation."
