The five will be on the team - source

The five Jamaican athletes who tested positive for a banned substance are not expected to receive a suspension and should be on their way to Berlin with the rest of the team.

The five, Sheri-Ann Brooks, Yohan Blake, Lansford Spence, Allodin Fothergill and Marvin Anderson, will return to the island by latest Wednesday for a hearing with the Jamaica Amateur Athletic Association.
The hearing must be held by latest Friday as the deadline for submission of entries to the World Championships is August 1.

A source told JamaicaWIN.com that if they are able to present a credible explanation of how the substance got into their system, all they would get is a “reprimand” and be allowed to continue their career without a hitch. “I see no reason why the will not be allowed on the team,” said the source. The source said that the substance in question, which is found in many ‘over the counter bronchial remedies’, gives little or no assistance and should be removed from the WADA list.

The Jamaica team will assemble in Nuremburg, Germany, for a one-week camp from August 6-11.

When removed, despite Brickie's protestations, will this "blemish" follow them around for the rest of their career?

But has there ever been any thought of WADA removing those substances that got the Americans in trouble from the list? Is Gatlin's asthma medication still on the list?

I am sure Gatlin's asthma medication is still on the list. How many athletes over let's say the last 3 years have you heard testing positive for this stimulant? How is it that Asafa and Bolt and the hundreds of others never had this in their system? Dem nuh like chocolate?
