Published Date: 14 July 2008
ONLY one man of three has been selected for Great Britain's Olympic 100m team as Team GB await the High Court ruling on Dwain Chambers this week.
The former drugs cheat was unsurprisingly omitted from the list of 47 track and field athletes whose Olympic places were confirmed by the BOA this afternoon.

But UK Athletics will be forced to pick him if a judge grants an injunction against his lifetime Olympic ban at a hearing in London on Thursday.

Wakefield Harrier Emily Freeman leads Great Britain's challenge in the 200m following her win in the Olympic Trials on Sunday.
