The JADCO Mascot, Leo (centre), the Dope Patrol Officer, shares a light moment with student athletes (from left) Kendra Henry, Chrissie-Gaye Barnett, Samara Soares, and Courressa Malcolm, all of Westwood High School. The occasion was the Junior Athletes Anti-Doping Education Workshop held for athletes and athlete support personnel from schools in Westmoreland, Hanover and St James on Wednesday at the Wexford Hotel in St James. Participants at the workshop met the JADCO mascot and were also introduced to values based education. This component of the programme was recently developed to allow participants to learn about the values of sport and the importance of being guided by moral principles during their sporting careers.
