May 2, 2014
In August 2012 the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Dominique Blake after her A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine).
The Athlete admitted the violation and stated she used a supplement, recommended by her mentor, which contained geranium and did not read the warning on the label before using the product.
The Panel concluded that the Athlete and her mentor turned a “blind eye” to the ingredients in the product she used. They didn’t pay attention to the warning on the webshop and she failed to mention the product on the Doping Control Form.
Due to this is the Athlete’s second violation - first violation in 2006 (efedrine) - the Jamaica Anti-Doping (JAD) Disciplinary Panel decides on 8 July 2013 to impose a 6 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on 13 June 2013.
