Chambers to discuss switch
Castleford call Monday press conference for major announcement

Controversial sprinter Dwain Chambers is set for talks about a switch to rugby league with Super League side Castleford Tigers.

Castleford, who are currently bottom of the Super League, have called a press conference for Monday amid speculation that they have persuaded Chambers to try his hand at rugby league.


Damion Silk, Chambers' spokesman, confirmed on Friday evening that the athlete will be going to Castleford to have a look at the club and to discuss the possibility of a rugby league career.


Silk stressed that, at this stage, it is just a visit and does not mean that his client will be committing himself to the Super League club.


Chambers, 29, was European champion over 100 metres in 2002 but has since served a two-year doping ban after testing positive for THG, a designer steroid.


After an aborted attempt to fashion a career in American football in the now-defunct NFL Europa, he returned to the track this season and took silver in the 60m at the World Indoor Championships.


However, his future in athletics is hampered by a lifetime ban, imposed by the British Olympic Association due to his doping indiscretion, from competing at the Olympic games.


Chambers would not be the first high-profile athlete to turn to the 13-man rugby code - sprinter Berwyn Jones had a stint with Wakefield Trinity in the 1960s.


There was no one available for comment at Castleford on Friday evening.

All a bit of press coverage for Castleford. Nothing more, nothing less I would say.
The money is in NFL and Dwain isn't stupid enough to join (with all due respect) Castleford Tigers, when, he could be playing for the NY Giants or the Miami Dolphins in better weather and being paid a heck of a lot more than he would at rainy, cold, Castleford.
Sydney. Where the sun shines constantly, and the trees burn in summer.
