In an interview published in The Voice today he said: "It is not a case of fighting the system, that's not my goal.

 

"My goal is to put myself out there and win a medal for my country.

 

"I am taking on this fight knowing how strongly I can do well in the Olympic Games.

 

"Believe me, I wouldn't be putting myself through this if I didn't feel I could do it."

 

The disgraced sprinter is now back concentrating on sprinting after he failed to earn himself a £60,000 per year contract with rugby league club Castleford.

 

He is banned from competing for Britain again in the Olympics after testing positive for the designer anabolic steroid tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) in 2003 and being suspended for two years.

 

The British Olympic Association has a by-law that prevents any athlete with a doping suspension from competing for them in the Games again.

 

Chambers' decision to challenge it has been criticised by several leading figures in the sport, most notably the London 2012 chairman and double Olympic gold medallist Sebastian Coe.

 

Chambers, who helped launch London's bid to host the 2012 Olympics in 2002,  told The Voice that he is planning to prepare for Beijing and leave getting the ban lifted to his legal team.

 

It is the same approach he adopted before the World Indoor Championships in Valencia in March where he won the silver medal in the 60 metres.

 

The Londoner said: “I’ll do the running and let my lawyers do the talking.

 

 

“The journey is always going to be tough.

 

"But I will try and make my job easier by staying confident and keeping in communication with the relevant people.

 

 

“I have a huge hill to climb but at the end of the day I can see the peak above the clouds.

 

"I’m using the KISS approach and for those who don’t know what that means I am going to keep it simple stupid.

 

 

“I’ve got a few track meetings that I have been invited to and the aim will be to do the right things at the right times.”

 

Chambers believes that if he is successful then he will regain his position as one of the world's leading 100m runners.

 

He told the newspaper: “At the end of the day that is the only thing we can do because if we go into this with a half hearted attitude then we will fail and that’s not my stance.

 

“People are running quick but what I have gained from the rugby is a huge amount of aerobic fitness, which as sprinters we don’t really work on.

 

"You will soon see how it benefits me.

 

 

“I gained a lot of confidence from learning new training techniques and I am still going from the confidence that I got from winning a silver medal in Valencia."
