6 Reggae Boyz selected for out-of-competition drug testing

ANTOFAGASTA, Chile – Two doctors from the CONMEBOL Medical Commission Anti-doping department visited the Reggae Boyz team hotel here at the Terrado Suites Wednesday to conduct six out-of-competition drug testing.

The officers led by Dr Hug Hugo Martinez and including Dr Gonzalo Gaiero, arrived at the team’s base at around 9:00 am where they contacted the team’s management before executing their tests.

The six players, who were randomly selected, included Joel Grant, Kemar Lawrence, Wes Morgan, Daniel Gordon, Dwayne Miller, and Deshorn Brown.

“This was a part of the mandatory out of competition drug testing,” revealed Dr Derrick McDowell, head of the Reggae Boyz medical team here.

“We are going to have mandatory in competition and out of competition testing, where we will have blood testing and urine testing and this morning was specifically blood testing,” he added.
