Unnamed Jamaican football player tests positive for a banned substance after World Cup qualifier
In the latest doping case involving the Caribbean island's athletes, this time, a Jamaica footballer tested
positive for a banned substance after a World Cup qualifying match against
Honduras. The player and the substance involved were not identified.
The Jamaica Football Federation
said it was notified by FIFA that a "member of the Jamaican squad returned
an adverse analytical finding on his urine sample" after the 11 June game.
The player and the substance involved were not identified.
"The player has been informed
and we await further information from FIFA," the federation said in a
statement late on Wednesday. "The JFF has taken this matter very seriously
and a thorough investigation has already started by the chairman of the JFF
Medical Committee."
According to Jamaican Football governing body, they believe FIFA will handle the case as the player will most likely receive a provisional ban during disciplinary proceedings.
