Asafa Powell respond to 18-month banned

My team commissioned two private laboratories that confirmed that oxilofrine was present in the supplements, despite it not being listed as an ingredient on the bottle nor on it�s website. I would also like to share that upon realizing that the supplement contained oxilo....
