    She had three teeth filled right before a major athletics competition?

    And then she "couldnt deal" with the pain killers recomended by the althetics federation but had to get her own doddy meds instead??

    And this is from fillings? What the hell kind of dentist did she go to?

    I'm afraid it all sounds pretty dubious

    Just a gentle reminder of the charter
    No doping talk! Please no speculation on which athletes may be doping
    We're ok so far but keep it to what's in the media not personal supposition.

    Also she has not been suspended from competition and decided to opt out of Lausanne herself until the matter is resolved. Given the fact that she has not been suspended pending investigation would seem to back up the claims of it being carelessness in declaring medication rather than intent of cheating

    I'd be surprised at anything other than a minor slap on the wrist from the Jamaican Federation. I'm not sure what the exact procedure is though (will IAAF be invilved)?.

    Given the charter, I'll hold back on this topic I think.

    Currently have one athlete on a 4 year ban and a 2 year ban so wouldn rule it out because of the Federation in question

    I suppose this subject has been done to death but whats the point in banning an otherwise legal med if it doesn't enhance performance?

    AFAIK while the drug may not have performancing enhancing effects they can be synergised(combined) with other drugs to have an effect on performance

    Is the media not a similar form of personal supposition by the editor or writer in question

    I think this is so Boards is not liable for the comments as they are not made by a user but rather referencing an outside source. not sure on this though
