Minister of Sports Olivia Grange is expected to submit the names of members of the new board of the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) to Cabinet today.
Minister Grange had dissolved the board of directors in May following recommendations made by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
A delegation from WADA that visited Jamaica in May raised concerns about conflicts of interest for panel members who also lead sports associations in the country.
Jamaica’s government established the anti-doping commission in 2005, recruiting some of the country’s leading sports officials to lead testing of athletes for banned substances.
