A-G Says Sports Medicine Growth Threatens Anti-Doping Efforts

KINGSTON Attorney General, Ransford Braham, says that while Jamaica has
embraced an aggressive and consistent anti-doping approach, rapid
developments in sports medicine and technology are a threat to those
efforts.
.
"The fast pace of these developments have threatened to outpace
anti-doping testing regimes," Mr. Braham warned, in an address at the
launch of the University of the West Indies (UWI) Anti- Doping in Sports
Conference, on Tuesday (November 8) at the Wyndham Kingston Hotel.
.
A dynamic cadre of presenters are expected to participate in the second
edition of the UWI's "Anti-Doping in Sport Conference", titled "Science
and Law of Anti-Doping", which is scheduled for November 26 at the Faculty
of Law, Mona.
.
Mr. Braham noted that there isan aggressive effort by countries, including
Jamaica, to keep pace with newer and more sophisticated doping efforts by
athletes and persons around them.
.
He pointed out that there has been the introduction, by the World Anti-
Doping Agency (WADA), of longitudinal testing and other testing measures
to combat genetic engineering, as well as continually adding new
substances to the in-competition banned list of substances.
.
"This has yielded a, demonstrably, stronger regulatory framework for
anti-doping efforts, Mr. Braham observed.
.
He noted that WADA is contemplating even more significant changes that
will profoundly shift the landscape of testing regimes. He said that, if
these changes occur, there will doubtlessly be calls for Jamaica to adopt
the changes.
.
Inasmuch, as we are anxious to embrace aggressive efforts at protecting
the integrity of sports, we also share a commitment to ensure that the
rights of our athletes are preserved and that the distinctive factors and
local conditions be considered in any future review of the WADA Code, Mr.
Braham cautioned.
.
The Attorney General also pointed to WADAs contemplation of eliminating
B-Sample testing and relying on one sample, a position which he said he
did not support.
.
"We need to consider whether we should insist that our athletes have
recourse to both the A and B samples for further testing and appeal,
should an adverse finding occur?" Mr. Braham noted.
.
He also stated that there was a need to consider educating parents, and
support persons athletes rely on, on the dangers of anti doping, and
utilising them as critical vectors of change to ensure that the athletes
do not become casualties of doping violations.
