Chambers could face sanctions from IAAF

British sprinter Dwain Chambers could face sanctions from the sport\'s world governing body for his autobiography detailing his use of performance-enhancing drugs.
The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), said its legal experts will study the book and consider whether Chambers should be punished for bringing the sport into disrepute.
The case will come up at an IAAF meeting in Berlin on March 21 and 22.
A suspension could keep Chambers out of the World Championships in Berlin in August, where he hopes to line up in the 100 meters against Olympic gold medalist and world record-holder Usain Bolt.
Chambers won the 60 meters at the European indoor championships in Turin, Italy, yesterday for his first major individual title since serving a two-year ban in the BALCO doping scandal.
His victory was largely overshadowed in Britain by the fallout from his book, \"Race Against Me: My Story.\" The autobiography, which has been serialized in the British media, went on sale today.
In the book, Chambers said he took more than 300 different concoctions of banned substances after linking up with BALCO founder Victor Conte in 2002.
