10 September 2013	Need for Dialogue and Transparency for Jamaica Track & Field 6 By Over the past several weeks, we have been inundated with information about Jamaica’s track athletes, athletes who have fallen afoul of rules against doping include Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson, whose samples at the 2013 Jamaican National Trials returned Adverse Analytical Findings (AAF). These finding came after Veronica Campbell-Brown (VCB) A and B samples returned traces of a banned diuretic.
