Sporting villains... Your view
Dwain Chambers' convincing win in the World Indoor trials on Sunday, ensured his inclusion for the championships next month. But officials and pundits alike would rather the former drug cheat was not involved. One even asked the Sheffield crowd to boo him!
The controversy got us thinking of the most vilified sportsmen and women in sporting history - we've put together our top ten which you can read here.
We're also keen to get your input. Are there any 'villains' we've omitted? Should any of our ten not made the final cut? Using the boxes below, you can tell us your top ten or add in any of your own views.
The England football team because of their under achieving, pampered, waste of talent performances over the last 10yrs! Which in my book is just criminal!!! lol

Not in any order of villany but what about the following?(1) Those who toured South Africa - whatever the sport - when apartheid ruled and so propped up the regime. (2)Those coaches and sporting authorities in Eastern Europe who, under communist regimes,systematically forced sportsmen and women to engage in illicit drug-taking and restricted their lives in hosts of ways. (3)Nazi regime for its abuse of the '36 Berlin Olympics and other sporting events.
