LONDON (CMC): TOP BRITISH sprinter Dwain Chambers intends to find the crack in Usain Bolt's armour and cut him down to size.

Chambers, welcomed back in the British track and field fold following a ban for using performance enhancing drugs, is savouring the thought of taking a crack at the Jamaican sprint sensation next season.

"I'm a competitor who loves a tough challenge and I'll relish the opportunity to race against Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell next year," he said in an interview with Sky Sports.

Study him

"I'm particularly looking forward to competing against Bolt because I trained with him two years ago, so with that in mind I want to know what it feels like to run against a guy who can now run 9.69," he said.

"I was mesmerised big time by what he did in Beijing. I was absolutely flabbergasted and couldn't believe what I was actually seeing. It shocks me to this day and I still sit down and study him. It's important for me to watch on tape a lot what he does, his mechanics and his drive speed.

"I also need to understand Usain Bolt as an individual because I need to know what I'm up against when I line up next to him in the flesh so I can go out there and achieve my goal.

"That's what our training sessions are geared towards - we call it Project Bolt! That's who we're targeting so that will be a lot of fun. He's definitely the man to follow."

Dominate sport

The 30-year-old Chambers believes that Bolt looks set to dominate the sport in the way that American Maurice Greene, and he could not allow this.

"The sooner we put a crack in his armour, that's when the competition will start," he said.

"We can't afford to let him have his own way for five years because that's going to be too long and I only have three years left! But the important thing is for me to go out there and have some fun."
