Dwain Chambers won his heat easily in the mens 60m at the World Indoor Championships in Valencia.

All eyes in the Palau Velodromo stadium were on the former drug cheat who has showed brilliant form after returning to athletics following a brief dalliance with American football.

Chambers, showing no signs of pressure despite the constant attention he has attracted since his arrival in Spain, was offered little genuine challenge when cruising to an easy victory.

Untroubled, he cruised to victory ahead of Nigeria’s Isaac Uche and Ihor Bodrov from Ukraine in a moderate time of 6.69seconds.

Chambers has promised to raise his game in this evening’s semi-final and, if he makes it, final in order to realise his ambition of becoming only the second British 60m champion since Jason Gardener’s victory four years ago.
