KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Jamaica has dissolved the board of directors of its Anti-Doping Commission.
Jamaica Olympic Association President Mike Fennell said all 15 members were fired by the Caribbean nation’s sports minister.
Fennell said Monday that the decision was part of a restructuring and was unrelated to a recent positive test for Olympic and world 100-meter champion Shelly-Ann Fraser.
Fennell told the Jamaica Gleaner newspaper that the decision was based on a review by the World Anti-Doping Agency that raised concerns about conflicts of interest for panel members who also lead sports associations on the island.
