Britain's Chambers says Usain Bolt is beatable

Great Britain's Dwain Chambers believes Usain Bolt's form has given his 100-metre rivals encouragement that he can be beaten at the World Championships.
The world and Olympic champion goes into the event in Daegu, South Korea as only the sixth fastest in the world this year with a best of 9.88 seconds.
Chambers said the Jamaican sprinter has shown this season that he can be beaten as every man has his day.
However, Chambers said athletes must not take things for granted despite the fact Bolt has not been on top form.
Bolt set the world record mark of 9.58 in winning gold at the World Championships in Berlin in 2009.
Injury has played its part in Bolt's dip in form. An Achilles tendon problem brought a premature end to his 2010 campaign.
