Entire Jamaican team tested for doping
Print Edition
All 44 athletes on the Jamaican team, including sprint superstar Usain Bolt, were tested on Monday at their Moscow training camp for the worlds.
Team officials confirmed that agents from the World Anti-doping Agency arrived at the camp in Moscow, where all of the athletes had blood taken in the sweeping operation. It wasnÕt clear if an entire national team had ever before been asked to undergo testing on the eve of a major competition.
The Jamaican track and field program has been under increased scrutiny after former world 100m record holder Asafa Powell and his training partner Sherone Simpson were among five athletes who tested positive in June.
