[anointed]

Where is OK Jazz to tell us how frequently Jamos are tested?

He didnt say they werent being tested but said they will be tested the more.

d#$% Pound did not say anything about how often Jamaicans are tested in the off season. he said "jamaicans are difficult to test".......Nothing in that statement says they are not tested. So all this hulabaloo is about a statement that does not mean anything. Its is being blown up by the same media you claim is protecting Bolt. Once again you've contradicted yourself and gotten excited about a none issue. That statement means NOTHING.

BTW everyone on this forum should know that if an athletes does not make himself available for out of competition tests, they can be suspended for 2 years. John Ngugi is a case in point. So this idea that jamaicans are difficult to test is not supported by the evidence.

The IAAF website has a list of athletes who are tested out of competition. Jamaicans are amongst the most tested out of competition.

Splitting hairs! He said they should expect "more visits" - this means they are not tested often enough! He said they are difficult to find in order to be tested. It means offseason b/c during competitions everyone knows where to find them!

d#$% Pound stated the obvious. When a team wins, they are visited more often by IAAF testers. When Jamaica dominated in 2008, they got more visits from IAAF. And when they dominate in 2016 they will get more visits. What exactly is new here ?

Here is a quote from the IAAF website for the testing they did after 2008

The five most tested nations (out-of-competition) under the IAAF programme were Russia, Belarus, China, USA, and Jamaica.

This whole thread is nothing but a sensational headline driven by the same media that supposedly protects Bolt.

I actually think the US sprint team is more likely to be on drugs than Jamaica..
