European 5,000metres silver medallist Mo Farah wants to set a British two mile record to dampen the furore surrounding Dwain Chambers's selection for the Great Britain Indoor squad.

Farah is running at the Norwich Union Grand Prix in Birmingham and - tiring of the negative publicity surrounding Chambers after he returned to Athletics following a short spell in the now-defunct NFL Europe after completing a doping ban - wants to prove that Britain is a force to be reckoned with.

"I have come here to do the best that I can. It is about putting British athletes on track and showing how well we are doing as a team," said Farah. "Initially, I wasn't going to do Birmingham but training was going so well that I changed my mind.
