She and the JADCO staff cant get on. Her fellow Directors had problems with her and the board asked her to resign. She is upset and this is the way she chose to get revenge. Why didn't she go to a regulatory authority with her story. She went to Sports Illustrated and CNN. They paid her the 30 pieces of silver and she started to run her mouth. Anne is behaving as if it is only Jamaica whose testing programmes is not up to scratch. She tried to sound objective by saying that its not only Jamaica, but she had already done the damage. What the Judas did not say is how often the Jamaican athletes are tested in other jurisdiction. Once you are an elite athlete you are at the mercy of WADA testers. You cant hide them or else you will be suspended. I recall Asafa once saying that he urinated in testubes more than in toilets. contd...

Are they out to get these young Athletes too, they might have to drop a Bomb as someone suggested, as these youngsters suggest continuity, I am not saying that this situation should not be rectified, but MYGOD MAN!!!! as aptly described by trin-rose,, its like using a Mac truck to kill an ant, their sentiments suggest something far more ulterior than just seeking fair play, the guy Hpward did not even enquire before issuing his threat, Jacques Rogge President I of the World Olympics association was also very annoyed of Bolt's antics after winning in Beijing, although other US athletes where much more animated eg. Maurice Green, I had no idea that sports was so important to big first World Countries until now. why don't they complain about Phelps not being tested out of competition?

Now Anne Shirley a former executive director of JADCO come out yapping, so WADA and the IAAF was happy to get some music to dance to. One must ask, what was Miss Shirley's motive to come out yapping. She was a part of the JADCO executive, which according to her, has not done enough. Why didn't she report JADCO to WADA instead of running with her story to Sports Illustrated and CNN? She was earlier asked to resign from JADCO because of her performance and poor relationship with other directors. Is this revenge time for her?

No longer can the obviously biased announcers lay claim to our top athletes being "trained in the U.S." The price we pay for being independent and successful in T&F is massive, but we will not be daunted by the likes WADA, Jacques Rogge and other hypocrites, parasites and pestilence of the night!

The athlete they would really like to neuter is of course Bolt himself, yet despite all the harrassing frequency of testing him they have come up empty handed.__4. JA has a zero tolerance policy for athletes ingesting banned substances, and athletes testing positive for banned substances, however minor, will not be allowed to represent the country until they are cleared of any wrong doing. Therefore VCB, Powell and Simpson could not go to Moscow, although in the case of VCB, even the IAAF admitted that it was a minor slip-up. Yes, this is how strict JAAA operates, so WADA can come with all of its threats, JA has nothing to hide Fri, 23 Aug 2013 18:30:54 +0000http://www.trinidadexpress.com/sports/WADA-threatens-Jamaica-with--Olympic-expulsion-220752931.html#IDComment706136049 http://www.trinidadexpress.com/sports/WADA-threatens-Jamaica-with--Olympic-expulsion-220752931.html#IDComment706135178Jamaica, a small and very poor country continues to embarrass the so-called developed and mostly white populated countries on the international T&F circuit, and so must not be allowed to continue to do so. Even if what the former executive director of JADCO says is true, which would in turn indict her, since the alleged WADA non-compliance happened under her watch, let's look at some facts:__1. No member of Team JA tested positive for in-competition (meaning the London Olympics), which started this witch hunt in the first place.__2. Jamaica is "so inept" at testing its athletes that non other than three marquee athletes were found with banned substances in their system. Another two lesser athletes were also cited for similar infractions.

And the island nation home of 12-year-old reigning champ Jody-Anne Maxwell, the contest's first foreign winner is hopping mad. "For 71 years, you have had Americans win this competition, and then suddenly a tiny Third World country produces a champion speller, seemingly from nowhere," said Karen Thomson, spokeswoman for the sponsor of Jamaica's spurned 1999 spellers. "I think that has been a problem for [contest organizer] Scripps Howard, and they have subsequently revoked the country's entry for this year," Thomson said. Local Jamaicans also cried foul, and even the Rev. Jesse Jackson's group has protested. "I think it is sour grapes because a Jamaican won," said Jamaican-born Flatbush City Councilwoman Una Clarke. Jamaica was disqualified when spelling bee officials, concerned that some Jamaican kids were getting extra time to study, imposed a new rule: contestants for the May 1999 competition had to be chosen in a qualifying local contest held no earlier than Feb. 1. Jamaica, refusing to change a four-decade tradition, held its spelling bee as usual in August. So Scripps Howard disqualified the sponsor, Phillips & Phillips Stationery Supplies, from sending spellers to this year's U.

A Jamaica student went to USA and mash up dem spelling B. They switch up all the rules the following year. And now Its not possible for us to compete anymore.. Her name was Jody-Ann Maxwell.

This threat sounds like using a MAC truck to kill an ant. Couldn't they just kindly offer their expert advice on how to beef up Jamaica's Drug testing program? that sounds much more productive. Clearly WADA has a different agenda.
