In July 2009 the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against:
- the Athlete Troy Gauntlett, after his sample tested positive for the prohibited susbstance methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine); and
- the Athlete Jaeson Magnus after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance cannabis.
In spite of JADCO’s request for an adjournment the Athlete’s wanted to be heard for the Jamaica Anti-Doping (JAD) Disciplinary Panel.
The Athlete Troy Gauntlett admitted he used a supplement Animal Pak before the competition and stated that didn’t know it contained a prohibited substance. He also mentioned the supplement on the Doping Control Form.
The Athlete Jaeson Magnus admitted he smoked marijuana shortly before the competition.
The JAD Disciplinary Panel decides on 16 September 2009 to impose a reprimand on both Athlete’s and imposed on the Athlete Troy Gauntlett a 3 month period of ineligibility, starting on the date of the decision.
