Chambers, 30, had gone to court hoping to overturn the British Olympic Association (BOA) bylaw which precluded him from competing in China next month.
He served a two-year suspension after testing positive for the steroid THG in 2003, but argued that the BOA's additional punishment was an unfair restraint of trade.
