Athletics: Chambers: I may have to quit athletics.
(From The Journal)
Byline: David Martin
DWAIN Chambers has revealed he may have to retire in 2009 because of financial concerns.
Since returning to the track after serving a drugs ban, Chambers has gradually improved his relationship with UK Athletics.
But the hard-up sprinter admits he could be forced to bring down the curtain on his career and look for alternative employment if he can not make a proper living from the sport in the coming year.
The Londoner currently relies on his partner to pay the bills and even on the few occasions he has won prize money since his return, he has handed it over to the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) to whom he owes over pounds 100,000, money earned during the period he was using performance-enhancing drugs.
"I'm able to continue competing as long as my lady is still in a job," said Chambers. "I have no-one other than Leonie supporting me."
