"Asafa Powell, Shelly-Ann Fraser, Shericka Williams, Anneisha McLaughlin, Sherone Simpson, Kaliese Spencer, Melaine Walker and Michael Frater were tested. Nesta Carter, fresh from his Millrose Games win on Saturday, gave samples to both agencies."

Testing will also take place at the Camperdown Classic, where Track Racers are expected to get into action....

"In the meantime, organizers of the meet have averted a clash with local anti-doping authorities, after sorting out requirement demands by JADCO. There were fears that JADCO's requirements for the meet would not be met, by the meet organizers."

Add that to VCB's test failure a month ago, and it's a sad day for athletics.

Why am I not surprised that Afro would find this funny? So much for his claims that he's a Caribbean man...but then again, we always knew he was an immature, negative skunt.

A third named athlete is Allison Randall, a discus thrower, while I have heard that a male discus thrower is the fourth, and another male field athlete is the fifth.

This may disappoint Afro, but none of these five athletes were medal contenders for the World Champs next month, and so would not affect the medal campaign of Jamaica, except maybe in the both the men's and women's sprint relays.

That said, it's always disappointing when athletes fail tests. However, all of these Jamaican athletes, as well as VCB, were caught by JADCO, the Jamaican drug-testing organisation, showing that the island is serious about catching drug cheats.

The only individual medal contender among these revelations is Afro's Gay boyfriend....

I guess he's laughing to hide his pain!
