ATHLETICS: Dwain Chambers is likely to face further investigation from the world's governing bodies after admitting using designer drug tetrahydro- gestrinone (THG) from 2002.

Chambers was banned for two years in November 2003 after failing an out-of-competition test just prior to that summer's World Championships in Germany.

Yesterday Chambers revealed he had been using THG in the build-up to the previous year's European Championships.

"I took THG but I didn't know what its gains and benefits were," said Chambers in an interview with the BBC. "I was very foolish not to ask certain questions about THG, but no one had ever heard of it before, so I didn't see any reason to question it."

Flintoff wins BBC sports personality award

CRICKET: Ashes hero Andrew Flintoff has been named BBC Sports Personality of the Year for 2005.

The England all-rounder was favourite for the prestigious award after his man-of-the-series role in the summer Test success over Australia.

The 28-year-old is currently in Lahore with the England squad for today's second one-day international and was woken up around 3am local time to be presented with the trophy by Ian Botham.

Flintoff topped the public poll ahead of Liverpool's Champions League-winning captain Steven Gerrard, record-breaking yachtswoman Ellen MacArthur, rising tennis star Andy Murray and IBF light-welterweight champion Ricky Hatton.
