btw, dis was reported yessiday

Olympic Taekwondo fighter Kenneth Edwards has confirmed that he tested positive test for a banned diuretic.
Edwards' positive test came from an out-of-competition test carried out by the under fire Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO).
When contacted on Monday, Dr. Herb Elliott, Chairman of the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO), declined to confirm the latest positive test. However, Edwards who confirmed that he had been notified of the result, said he certainly intends to challenge it.
"I have absolutely no clue as to where that substance could be found in anything that passed my lips," he asserted in written response to RJR Sports Monday evening.
Edwards did say when he gave the sample which returned positive . However, RJR has been told that the “B” sample confirmed the initial adverse analytical finding of the “A” sample for the 27-year-old, who last year become the first Taekwondo athlete to represent Jamaica at the Olympics.
Edwards, who won the heavy weight bronze medal at the Central American and Caribbean Games in 2010, is the eighth Jamaican to test positive for a banned substance in 2013. Previously one footballer Jermaine Hue and six track and field athletes comprising Veronica Campbell-Brown, Asafa Powell, Sherone Simpson, Traves Smikle, Allison Randall and Damar Robinson all tested positive for banned substances.
Diuretics are viewed as masking agents on the World Anti-Doping Agency's list of banned substances.

I must admit that the longer this goes on the more rediculous we look.... Herb Elliot made a lot of bold statments that will bite him on his arse..

When Rich Challenged Mr Fennel....they behaved like a bunch of amatuers......but that is how people in authority behave towards Jamaicans...

Athletics - WADA chief furious at Jamaica stonewalling

World Anti-Doping Agency chief John Fahey has slammed Jamaican authorities for failing to accommodate an independent audit of their anti-doping regime until next year.

WADA said last week Jamaican prime minister Portia Simpson-Miller had invited a special team to inspect the country's anti-doping authority but the global body was "unhappy" the visit could not be arranged this year in the wake of a string of drugs offences involving local athletes.
"The current position is unacceptable to WADA and we're not going to take it lying down, their suggestion that they'll talk to us next year," Fahey told the Daily Telegraph.
"To suggest to WADA they're not ready to meet with us to talk about their problem until some time next year is unsatisfactory, it's totally unacceptable to me and we shall act appropriately within an appropriate time frame."
Former world 100 metres record holder Asafa Powell, twice 200 metres Olympic champion Veronica Campbell-Brown and London Games 4x100 relay silver medallist Sherone Simpson all failed drug tests and were left out of Jamaica's athletics team for the world championships in August.
The credibility of Jamaica's anti-doping work has been further called into question by Renee Anne Shirley, a former senior official with the country's anti-doping agency, who told Sports Illustrated in August the authority had carried out just one out-of-competition test from February 2012 to the start of the London Olympics in July.

The Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission has denied any problem and questioned Shirley's character.
Fahey stopped short of threatening sanctions but said there were "a number of options" open to WADA.
The most severe would be to declare Jamaica "non-compliant" with the WADA code, which would pave the way for global sports bodies like the International Olympic Committee or international federations to impose punitive measures.
Only WADA code-compliant sports can participate in the Olympic Games.
JADCO were not immediately available for comment.

When I heard the the PM had invited WADA I was going to post .... I hope it is not the usual Comrade tactics. Circle the wagons, invite the dragon in but only show him the hallway.
Last Saturday Clovis nailed it.
Now it has been confirmed, out of the mouth of the dragon itself.
