LONDON — Canada's Ben Johnson on Thursday slammed critics of British sprinter Dwain Chambers, who was banned in 2003 after failing a drug test, saying the sprinter deserved his place at the London Olympics.Johnson, who was stripped of his 100-meter gold medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympics after testing positive for steroids, said other athletes should look at themselves before casting judgment."People shouldn't be pointing fingers, they should be worrying if they pass the test," Johnson told ITV News. "Many people who pointed fingers at me tested positive later on."He deserves a second chance," added the former athlete. "There are many people who have done bad things in the world but we don't know."
