Social workers have strongly urged all overstayers to take immediate steps to regularise their status within the stipulated time frame
World Anti-Doping Agency president John Fahey, in an interview with the paper, accused Jamaica of “farcical” behaviour in its attempts to defer an extraordinary audit of its anti-doping programme until next year.
This followed an invitation to Wada by Jamaica’s prime minister to investigate revelations from the former executive director of the Jamaican Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) that it conducted no drug tests in the five months leading up to last year’s London Olympics.
But JADCO’s suggestion that they would talk to WADA next year infuriated anti-doping chiefs. If Jamaica is deemed to be non-compliant with the WADA code, their athletes could be banned from major competitions until the situation is resolved even though the likes of multiple Olympic champion Bolt have never failed a drugs test. “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,” said Fahey.
WADA said in August it was standing by to help Jamaica resolve their problems in the wake of the doping scandal involving former 100m world record-holder Asafa Powell.
The global anti-doping agency had then called for urgent action on the concerns raised by former Jamaica anti-doping chief Renee Anne Shirley over flaws in the country’s drug testing programme.
