Controversial sprinter Dwain Chambers has been left out of the Great Britain team to compete at the European Championships in Helsinki, potentially jeopardising his participation at London 2012.

On Sunday, the 34-year-old won the GB Olympic trials but did not achieve the 'A' qualification time required to guarantee Olympic participation.
Chambers became eligible for London after the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned the life Olympic ban imposed by the British Olympic Association following a drugs ban.
Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Mark Lewis-Francis have been picked instead, while Chambers will take part in the 4x100m relay.
Chambers won Sunday's trials in Birmingham with a time of 10.25 seconds, 0.07 outside the 'A' time.
Lewis-Francis was sixth in the trials, clocking 10.44, while Aikines-Aryeetey was seventh in 10.47.
Chambers said on Sunday: "I would like to be selected outright. If there's a way the selectors can look on my history I will gladly take that opportunity, but hopefully I am able to secure the qualifier in Helsinki."
