High spin states in 103Ag were investigated with the Gammasphere array, using the 72Ge(35Cl,2p2n)103Ag reaction at an incident beam energy of 135 MeV. A ΔJ=1 sequence with predominantly magnetic transitions and two nearly-degenerate ΔJ=1 doublet bands have been observed. The dipole band shows a decreasing trend in the B(M1) strength as function of spin, a well established feature of magnetic bands. The nearly-degenerate band structures satisfy the three experimental signatures of chirality in the nuclei; however microscopic calculations are indicative of a magnetic phenomenon
