Once the biggest sportsman of Britain, Dwain Chambers is now running for nothing when he will make a return to competition after serving a two-year ban for using anabolic steroids.

Chambers was retrospectively disqualified from races in 2002 and 2003 and was asked by the International Association of Athletics Federations to return the $350,000 he won in that period.

Chambers admitted that he took drugs for 18 months before he tested positive in 2003.

Hurdler Duane Ross has been banned for a period of two years by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) after evidence of drug use was uncovered.

The results of Ross since November 2, 2001 will be scratched from the records after new information emerged from the ongoing investigation into the BALCO scandal.

The ban means that Ross will keep his 1999 World Championship bronze medal, won in a personal best of 13.12 seconds in Seville.
