A Jamaican track and field athlete has tested positive for a prohibited substance.
According to reports reaching Trackalerts.com, the athlete finished in the top three at Jamaica Trials and would guarantee a place on the country’s team to the Doha 2019 World Championships.
Unconfirmed reports are that the athlete, who cannot be named until the outcome of the B sample, has already been notified of the positive test.
The athlete could face the possibility of a four-year ban from the sport if found guilty.
According to JADCO’s website, “Presence of a prohibited substance (or its metabolites or markers) in an athlete’s sample” is an Anti-Doping Rule Violation.
Last week it was reported that American sprinter Christian Coleman missed three out of competition tests. He will have his hearing on September 4.

Im not hoping but waiting on the B sample to be tested.
Errol McIntyre every drug on the list they are given all the names they are known by as in Europe and Asia the names are not always the same.
That list is complicated you almost need a degree in chemistry to understand it. The same drug can have 5 different name but means the same thin. A company can the change One thing in the chemical make up and give it a different name.
Well. Look how some people were so fixated on Coleman. Sad but I hope this teaches people to be human.
Never a good look for the sport, matters not which country
The only person who said she had the flu was Brianna. That’s why she pull out of the 200 .The person to a flu medication .
