Yanick, the Wolmer’s Boys School graduate, has the potential to become one of the next best sprint-hurdlers from Jamaica.

Asafa Powell respond to 18-month banned

FEATURES

Thursday April 10, 2014 | Statement from Asafa Powell A short while ago, the independent disciplinary panel exploring the circumstances under which my samples tested positive for the stimulant oxilofrine handed down a sanction.

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....
