British sprint great Campbell helps out Biarritz

Two-time Olympic medalist Darren Campbell has been hired to give advice to the players from French rugby giants Biarritz on their physical fitness, the European Challenge winners announced.

The 38-year-old -- silver medalist behind the subsequently disgraced Greek sprinter Konstantinos Kenteris over 200m in the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and a gold medal winner in the 4x100m relay in 2004 -- has been advising the players over how they can increase their speed.

Campbell, who also won the European 100m title in 1998, was called up by the physical trainers from the Top 14 club to help prepare the players for the forthcoming season after fulfilling a similar role with several English football clubs.
