 Chambers won the European 60m indoors title earlier this month
|
Dwain Chambers has lined up three races next month as part of his preparation for the World Championships in August.
The 31-year-old has struggled to find meets because of a ban on former drug offenders by 50 European promoters.
But Chambers will compete over 100m and 200m at an international meet in Dessau next Tuesday, followed by outings in Montreuil and Uden on 11 and 27 June.
The sprinter was handed a two-year suspension in 2003 after testing positive for THG.
Chambers, who has been training in America in a bid to be in top form for the World Championships, had expected to receive an invitation to the opening IAAF Golden League event of the season in Berlin on 14 June.
Meeting director Gerhard Janetzky had said Chambers would compete but he said earlier in the week that he did not want to be out of step with Europe's other leading meetings.

606: DEBATE
|
Chambers insisted he was unperturbed by the setback.
"I had a feeling that would happen. Never mind - I will run elsewhere," said Chambers. "Training in the States went well and I will be ready for the World Championships."
Chambers' major target before Berlin will be gaining a place in the Great Britain side at the three-day trials, beginning in Birmingham on 10 July.
However he is also hoping he can wear a British vest before then and could be picked for the European Cup team in Leira, Portugal, on 20-21 June, if he can prove himself the country's fastest man over 100m or 200m.
That has been been the traditional selection method, although the head coach of UK Athletics Charles van Commenee may decide otherwise.
"The European Cup is on the books, we'll wait and see what happens with team selection," said Chambers who will discover his fate when the team is announced on 11 June.
Marlon Devonish is currently the fastest Briton over 100m having clocked 10.11 seconds in April, marginally quicker than Chambers' time of 10.21 in Puerto Rico two weeks ago.
However, Chambers easily heads the 200m rankings with a mark of 20.51secs.
Chambers is banned for life from future Olympic Games and has already been informed him he will not be considered for inclusion in the 4x100m relay squad in the build-up to London 2012.
