he was born on Earth. Usain is someone that was born on Pluto. No one can get that except for him,” Chambers laughs. “I was blessed with the opportunity to train with him in 2006 and I knew it was only a matter of time before he did something fantastic. I look forward to having the opportunity to race him some day.” Bolt is one of many athletes Chambers
admires, he says, citing several who are from completely different sports than his own: tennis players Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray, Formula 1 drivers Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton, and British diver Tom Daley, who Chambers calls “a great athlete to watch”. Chambers’ interest in a wide array of sports may help explain why he dabbled in several others in the wake of his doping ban. He tried American football and rugby and found both very chal- lenging even though he came to them as a world-class athlete in another discipline. “You can’t go into either of those sports half-heartedly,” he says. “You have to be born and raised doing those sports.” Given that Chambers was born and
raised in London, you might expect that rugby would come easier to him than

the American sport, but in fact the opposite was true. “With regard to American football, it’s more speed- based which fits into what I do on the field with athletics,” he says. But he didn’t much care for getting tackled. “The amount of physical battery you have to put yourself though was hard on me, even though you have as much protection as your body could want.” American football proved hard work
in more ways that one, he adds. “Having a playbook that was three inches thick to learn, running against someone who’s gonna hit you or touch you, that is very demanding on you mentally,” he says. “Rugby was all stamina, which doesn’t fit into my pedigree,” he concedes. “My weights went up. I was burning a hell of a lot more calories than I would as a sprinter. The demands on my body were that much greater. It took me that much longer to recover.”
In the end, he thought, “This is not for
me,” although he says he had a great time doing it. Deep down, Chambers knew other sports just weren’t right for him. “I was in a bad place,” he says of those days when he bounced from one sport to another while pursuing a legal fight
