Post subject: Jamaica's drug testing policy to undergo an 'extra
 ,[url=http://www.billigabeat.com/monster-beats-by-dr-dre-tour-254]Beats By Dr Dre[/url]; The World Anti-Doping Agency expressed its frustration on Monday nightafter plans to launch an ",[url=http://www.billigabeat.com]Billiga Monster[/url];extraordinary",[url=http://www.billigabeat.com/monster-beats-pro-diamond-edition-247]Beats Sverige[/url]; audit into allegations that Jamaica's athletes were rarely drug-tested while on the island in the run-up to London 2012 were pushed back until 2014.
Wada was invited by the Jamaican prime minister to investigate revelations from Renée Anne Shirley, the former executive editor of the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission, that there was "a significant gap of no testing" between March and July 2012 while the country's athletes prepared for the Olympic Games. However, Jadco has since told Wada it cannot meet the commission until next year. A Wada statement to the Guardian said: "Wada has accepted an invitation from the prime minister of Jamaica to visit and inspect Jadco. Wada was unhappy to learn that Jadco cannot accommodate this visit until 2014."
In August Shirley revealed substantial flaws in Jadco's organisation, including that it had no Whereabouts Information Officer to keep track of its athletes out of competition, only one full-time doping control officer and that "the committee in charge of reviewing the legitimacy of medical prescriptions for athletes was without a chairman and had never met".
But it is her central allegation – that only one random test was conducted in Jamaica between March and July 2012 – that most concerns Wada, especially given that five athletes who competed at London 2012 have since tested positive, including the former 100m world record holder Asafa Powell, the Olympic 4x100m silver medallist Sherone Simpson and the sprinter Veronica Campbell-Brown.
"It's an extraordinary visit," said David Howman,[url=http://www.billigabeat.com/the-recording-technician-gem-series-246]Monster Beats[/url], Wada's director general. "Jamaica is a high priority. They're on our radar. There was a period during the beginning part of 2012 where there was no effective operation. No testing. So we were worried about it."
In 2010 Wada went as far as dissolving the board of Jadco because it contained the country's head of athletics – an obvious conflict of interest. This time Howman wants to get to the root of Shirley's allegations but will have to wait after the Jadco chairman,[url=http://www.billigabeat.com/team-series-21-252]Billiga Beats By Dr Dre[/url], Herbert Elliott, said it could not accommodate the auditors on the dates Wada wanted. "It doesn't over-impress us," Howman said. "If there's going to be that sort of delay, you need to have a better reason."
International Olympic Committee medical officials,[url=http://www.billigabeat.com/monster-beats-by-solo-257]Beats by dre[/url], Wada and Britain's anti-doping agency, which also worked on London's drug-testing programme, were kept in the dark about the Jamaican testing lapses that Shirley exposed in letters to The Gleaner newspaper and then Sports Illustrated in August.
However, Jamaican runners did not go completely untested into the Games. Track and field's governing body, the IAAF, says it extensively tested the elite Jamaicans and that Usain Bolt was tested more than 12 times last year.
