Jamaican athlete tests positive for banned substance
A top Jamaican sprint hurdler has tested positive for a banned substance and could face a ban from the sport.
The substance was found in the ‘A’ sample from the athlete whose management has since requested that the ‘B’ sample be tested.
It is understood that the substance accelerates the reduction of triglycerides, the most common form of fat in the body.
The athlete, who is a medallist at the international level, recently switched training camps and is currently preparing for the upcoming season.
