Simpson suspended for doping
Print Edition
JAMAICA’S 2008 Olympic women’s 100 meters silver medalist Sherone Simpson received an 18-month suspension for doping from the Jamaica Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel yesterday.
The 29-year-old, who won 4x100m relay gold in the 2004 Olympics and silver in the same event at the 2012 Games, tested positive for a stimulant, oxilofrine, at the Jamaica National Championships in June 2013.
Simpson, who was also a member of the Jamaican 4x100m relay teams that took silver in the 2005 and 2011 world championships, said the substance was found in a new supplement given to her by Canadian trainer Chris Xuereb.
The decision doesn’t bode well for her teammate and men’s former 100m world record holder Asafa Powell, who tested positive for the same stimulant as Simpson. He will learn his fate from the same body tomorrow.
