As yet Jamaica (or the US for that matter) has no comprehensive drugs testing regime. The only time their athletes are tested is by the World Anti Drugs Testing agencies. As for the claims that the drugs tests would leave Jamaican athletes weak for competition, grow up and get a life. The amounts of blood involved are too small for the body to notice and just stink of a ready made excuse for when  "the drugs don't work".

I wonder how often the American team or British team is tested.

Or is it something else? I can't post anything. What's the use of pretending you are running a blog here if people can't contribute anything? At least you could have given a list of those filtered words or whatever -- what people are not supposed to say. the funny thing is I can write that, say, Gordon is an idiot and that will be duly posted but I can't post legitimate arguments against Gordon's assertions.

After the BALCO scandal in the USA, the US Congress held public hearings about doping among US athletes and an American Olympic star, Marion Jones, is currently serving a jail sentence for her role in the doping scheme. There is no room for cheats at the Olympics.
