The board of Jamaica's Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) resigned after several of the Caribbean nation's sprinters were caught cheating earlier this year and a former head of the body highlighted a lack of testing.
Jamaica's minister responsible for sport, Natalie Neita Headley,[url=http://www.brandshoe.de/nike-free-38]Billig Nike Free[/url], announced the news while also saying her country vowed to step up the fight against drug cheats.
The resignations take effect at the end of 2013.
"Quite recently,[url=http://www.brandshoe.de/nike-shox-34]Billie Nike Shox[/url], JADCO's commissioners met and acknowledged that there is a public perception of the existence of conflicts of interests among some of the members of the commission," Headley said in a statement posted on the website of the Office of the Prime Minister.
Even though Jamaicans Usain Bolt and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce were named male and female athletes of the year,[url=http://www.brandshoe.de/air-max-33]Air Max[/url], respectively, by track and field's governing body last week, ex world-record holder Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson made the wrong type of headlines when they admitted to testing positive for banned substances in July.
Three-time Olympic gold medalist Veronica Campbell-Brown tested positive,[url=http://www.brandshoe.de/air-max-33]Billig Air Max[/url], too, although she was cleared to return by officials in Jamaica who deemed she didn't intend to enhance performance through taking a banned diuretic.
Members of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) examined JADCO's operations last month and Headley said Jamaica would give its &quot,[url=http://www.brandshoe.de/nike-shox-34]Nike Shox[/url];full support" to stiffer revisions to the WADA code expected to come into play in 2015.
In August, Renee Anne Shirley -- the former executive director of JADCO -- told Sports Illustrated that JADCO conducted a mere one out-of-competition test from March to July 2012, the months leading into the summer Olympics in London.
"At no time has WADA ever deemed Jamaica or JADCO to be non-compliant,[url=http://www.brandshoe.de/nike-free-38]Nike Free[/url]," Headley said. "At no time has WADA threatened to bar Jamaica or Jamaican athletes from participating in any international event — Olympic Games, World Championship or the like.
"As we continue to build on this rich sporting legacy,[url=http://www.brandshoe.de/air-max-33]Nike Air Max[/url], the Government of Jamaica will continue to do whatever it can to protect our good name and reputation and in the maintenance of a doping-free sporting environment."
