I am not sure what was only a matter of time.

The official JAM athletics statement is, that the athletes took a substance that is NOT on the banned list, yet they made them to admiit it.

how is that possible ?

from the article :

"The athletes have admitted they took a banned substance," said Jamaican Anti-Doping Appeals Tribunal (Jadco) chairman Ransford Langrin.

They tested positive for methylxanthine at Jamaica's championships in June, but were initially cleared by a disciplinary panel on the basis it was not on the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) banned list.

Yes Rudy, I read it too :rolleyes:

It's a bit like saying "But I'm not responsible for killing the pedestrian officer as this is my friends car and how was I to know it would behave the same as mine". The JADCO want to ban them - their own body.
