KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Jamaica Anti-doping Commission (JADCO) is reporting a successful staging of its inaugural Senior Anti-Doping Education workshop held Saturday at the Liguanea Club in New Kingston.

According to JADCO participants in the workshop including Glen Mills, head coach of the Racers Track Club, commended the effort to communicate with the nation’s senior athletes.

”We would like the athletes to get as much knowledge as possible about the testing procedures carried out as well as the rules and guidelines, as this is for their benefit and protection,” Mills is quoted by JADCO in a press release Monday.

“The practical demonstration of the doping control process was very good and I wish more athletes were here to see it,” said the legendary coach.

However he expressed his dissatisfaction with the turnout at the event, saying that you “can’t be too knowledgeable about the process”.

Speaking at the workshop, JADCO executive director, Carey Brown explained that the purpose of the workshop was to strengthen the dialogue between JADCO and the senior athletes.

“We want the athletes to know that we are here to serve them and we are ready and willing to assist in any way we can in order to ensure they are as knowledgeable as possible about anti-doping and the 2015 Code which will come into effect on January1.”
