The lawyer of Dwain Chambers has accused British Olympic Association chiefs of handling the sprinter's case with "colonial arrogance".
The 34-year-old is set to run in this summer's London Olympic Games following the Court of Arbitration for Sport's decision to overturn lifetime bans for drug cheats.
Siza Agha vented his fury on the BOA, who he believes have occupied a "blinkered" position in the legal row.
"In my view as hosts for the 2012 Olympics, this delicate and emotive issue required international diplomacy, foresight and responsibility," The Mirror quotes Agha as saying.
"What we have received has been a crude and defiant display fuelled by misguided statements such as 'We have standards and the rest of the world doesn't'.
"It has in my view been an exposure of colonial arrogance that even the most extreme and blinkered should have realised could only serve to marginalise British opinion on the international stage."
The BOA have since expressed their disappointment at the decision.
