JADCO 2009 JADCO vs Yohan Blake, Marvin Anderson, Allodin Fothergill & Lansford Spence - Appeal
September 14, 2009

In July 2009 the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athletes Yohan Blake, Marvin Anderson, Allodin Fothergill and Lansford Spence after their samples tested positive for the prohibited substance 4-Methyl-2-hexanamine. After notification the Athletes were heard before the JADCO Disciplinary Panel.

The case initiated by JADCO was based on a WADA consideration from 2009 about the substance Methylhexaneamine and the conclusion of the WADA Prohibited List Committee in 2009 that Methylhexanemanine is a stimulant that has a chemical structurure similar to the prohibited substance Tuaminopheptane which is included on the WADA Prohibited List since 2007. Hereafter the substance 4-Methyl-2-hexanamine was included on the 2010 WADA Prohibited List as Methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine).

After evidence of two experts the Panel finds that the substance 4-Methyl-2-hexanamine was not biologically similar to the prohibited substance Tuaminoheptane and that there was no evidence that 4-Methyl-2-hexanamine was mentioned on the current WADA 2009 Prohibited List.

Therefore the JADCO Disciplinary Panel decides on 9 August 2009 to dismiss the charges and not to impose any period of ineligibility on the athletes.
