Jamaica: Sprinters Asafa Powell, Sherone Simpson to learn fate in April
“The one that Doyle submitted had a rock-like substance this one didn’t have,” Robinson said. “Doyle’s own was sealed, just the cap. This one the entire bottle was sealed and then the cotton ball placement was different with this sample and was on the top of the capsules.”
Robinson said JADCO does not accept that Epiphany D1 contained the substance oxilofrine found in Powell’s sample last June.
“Powell in his evidence suggested he took very little care in ensuring what he was taking was not contaminated,” Robinson said.
Gordon says JADCO has no scientific evidence to suggest the banned substance was not in the bottles used by Powell and Simpson, who learns her fate April 8.
Robinson argued that given the information from the base sample tested in the US lab, JADCO does not need more evidence.
