RJR sports understands that a Jamaican Athlete has returned an adverse analytical finding for a banned substance at the 10th staging of the Jamaica International Invitational World Challenge meet on may 4 at the National Stadium.

According to RJR sports sources, a high profile female athlete with Olympic credentials returned the adverse analytical finding for a banned diuretic, which is seen as a masking agent.

The sample was tested at the WADA accredited laboratory in Montreal, Canada.

It is understood that both the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) and the athlete in question, have been notified of the adverse finding.

However, it is unclear, whether the athlete has accepted the "A" Sample as being positive, or has asked for the "B" Sample to be tested.

Under rule 37 of the competition rules, which deals with results management...after being notified the athlete has seven days in which to request the ''B" Sample to be tested at his or her cost.

The athlete and/or their representative have the right to be present at the WADA accredited lab while the "B" Sample is being tested.

When RJR sports contacted president of the JAAA, Dr. Warren Blake he said: "We have not gotten any notification of a positive test from the Jamaica International Invitational Meet."

Chairman of the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission Dr. Herbert Elliott also denied being notified about an adverse analytical from the meet.

Bet you a $1 its an overseas based star? Karl Lewis is smiling!

You Are Incorrect

Bet you a $1 its an overseas based star? Karl Lewis is smiling!

Wrong! But at least your bet was merely a dollar.

This is very, very bad news for Jamaica, and I can assure you that it’s not only Carl Lewis who is smiling! At least the young lady who was recently banned for six years by JADCO is small fry and hardly known by anyone, but this latest news (released yesterday) is a whole different story! This latest saga makes me feel sick inside. Literally!

Very bad news....

I will say again that no athletes positive test surprises me anymore. None.

[Historian]

I agree, but....

Very bad news....

I will say again that no athletes positive test surprises me anymore. None.

I fully share your view, I’man. On the other hand, with the obvious failure of our society politically, economically and socially, and with our failures in recent years in our core sports of cricket, netball, boxing and soccer, and of course, our music (Jamaican-style reggae is almost dead), the only thing we have to boast about is our track and field athletes and their accomplishments.

We cannot afford to lose what respect our track and field athletes have brought us!

[Historian]

Hold on

On the other hand, maybe you are correct. Hold on to that dollar for a while.

...the only thing we have to boast about is our track and field athletes and their accomplishments

This is true, and in my opinion even more tragic than any positive drug test could ever be.

Personally, although I still enjoy sports and my team(s) doing well, I have learnt to not get too caught up in their success or failures. Between drugs, match fixing and the general corruption that large sums of money attracts there is just too great a chance of things not being what they seem.

There is drugs and there is DRUGS. Which is it? What I mean is someone might take something not truly knowing it is a violation and then there are the people who intentionally dope. Is this just something for a 3 month ban or a 2 year ban which they should know to do better.?

[Historian]

This one could be serious

‘Sass, it seems serious. Here is the latest update from today’s daily Gleaner:

Olympic Sprint Medallist Tests Positive For Banned Substance

Published: Friday June 14, 2013 | 10:15 am

The female Olympic athlete has been tested positive for a diuretic which is forbidden by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Andre Lowe, Senior Staff Reporter

New information is indicating that the female Jamaican athlete who tested positive for a banned substance, at the May 4 Jamaica Invitational at the National Stadium, is an Olympic sprint medallist.

The athlete and her management team were notified of an adverse analytical finding, after the detection of a diuretic, which is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency because of its ability to hide the presence of performance enhancement drugs (PED) in the system.

Diuretics are drugs that help the body to get rid of excess fluids primarily through urination, as a result, decreasing the ability to detect PEDs.

It is still unclear whether the athlete has requested that her B sample be tested.

What does it matter, if it is an athlete based overseas or based in Jamaica? Arn't they all representing Jamaica, and when they win medals - John Public jump and say Jamaica!!

[Willi]

It matters!

The leading anti-Jakan arguments is that we are sheltering the local athletes from testing and some really devious and complicit program is in effect.

You must separate the nationality from residence.

The farrin based athlete is subject to the same test as nationals of that country and if they are so superior in testing, then how comes those athletes once they step in Jam gets busted, while safe in farrin?

Having said that ANY Jakan busted is bad for us and is not to be taken lightly. However, being locally based is doubly worse!

irony.. how Jetta get wheh ???

ah bwoy...
