Two Jamaican athletes have tested positive for banned substances following results of tests done at the National trials in June.
The two are quarter-miler Dominique Blake and 800m runner from the MVP camp Ricardo Cunningham. Cunningham who did not qualify for the Olympics tested positive for the banned substance pseudoephedrine. Pseudoephedrine is a stimulant, but it is well known for shrinking swollen nasal mucous membranes, so it is often used as a decongestant, additionally it may also be used as a wakefulness-promoting agent, reducing drowsiness and increasing alertness. The drug was reintroduced on the WADA list of banned substances back in 2010 after it was removed in 2004. It remains unclear as to what drug Blake tested positive for. Blake went to the Olympics as part of Jamaica's 4x400m relay pool, but did not get a chance to compete. She was very critical of the coaching and management staff of playing the "friend thing" card as being the reason for her not being able to participate at the games. Blake is now facing the possibility of being banned for life after having tested positive for the stimulant ephedrine back in 2006. She was banned for 9 months for that offense. She has since asked for her B Sample to be tested. Blake indicated via email that she would not be present at today's hearing and will instead be present when the panel of Chairman Kent Pantry, Lennox Gayle, Dr. Jephtah Ford and Juliet Cuthbert reconvenes on October 17. Cunningham wanted to waive his right to a hearing but was advised by JADCO's attorney Dr. Lackston Robinson the request for a waiver should have been done in writing accepting the assertion of the anti-doping rule violation. He should instead withdraw the waiver and appear before the panel on October 17.
