Officials from WADA in Jamaica for doping probe
Print Edition
Three high-ranking World Anti-Doping Agency officials arrived in Kingston, Jamaica, on Monday to conduct an audit of the country’s anti-doping programs after weeks of criticism following positive tests from several high-profile athletes.
Rob Koehler, WADA’s director of education programs and development; Rune Anderson, director of standard harmonization; and Kerwin Clarke, manager of program development, refused to answer any questions on arrival and were taken to a meeting with Jamaica’s Anti-Doping Commission.
They will examine JADCO’s drug testing program, staffing, governance, education program, and current cases of adverse analytical findings against some of the country’s athletes.
WADA had been invited to conduct an audit of the anti-doping program by the Jamaican government, but officials from the world governing body had expressed anger at a delay in organizing the visit.
WADA President John Fahey had suggested the Caribbean nation could face severe penalties if they were declared non-compliant with the WADA code, prompting JADCO to expedite the visit after several athletes tested positive this year.
Asafa Powell, Veronica Campbell-Brown and Sherone Simpson have all failed drug tests.
