Dwain’s in a right old state

DWAIN CHAMBERS was disqualified for a false start in the British Indoors 60m semi-final in Birmingham, ending his European Indoor Championship hopes.

The former world indoor champion, 40, needed a top-two finish and to reach a qualification standard of

6.60seconds. Dominic Ashwell, 19, won the final in 6.64secs, narrowly missing the qualifying standard.

Chambers (below) was banned for doping in 2004 but returned to the sport in 2006 and won the 60m world title four years later.

But he retired in July

2017 and has only competed twice since.

After easing through his opening round, he was too fast off the mark in his semifinal.

“I feel like a fossil coming back into the sport again and being resurrected,” he said after his disqualification.

“I’m going to walk out there with my tail between my legs unfortunately, watch how the weekend goes and then review.”

Asha Philip finished strongly in the women’s

60m to take the tape in

7.19seconds.
