I never comment on non-high school track until now. Can you list of me Australia's recorded history of doping (track especially)? While you are at it, please list Jamaica's.

No probs


The damning report into widespread drug-taking and match-fixing in Australia has been described as "the blackest day in Australian sport" by the former head of the country's anti-doping authority.

The ACC said it could not disclose the details of individuals or sports involved, but had given classified briefings to administrators of some sports or clubs and had referred its findings of suspected criminal activity to the Australian Federal Police and state police forces.

The investigation focused mainly on two prominent sports codes and “identified use of these substances, which are prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), by professional athletes in a number of sports in Australia”, the report said.

I think you are reaching there, note also:
1. Jamaica has three main sports - Track & Field, Cricket and Football(soccer)
Cricket - Campbell
Track - since Trevor Black just about every top athlete save Bolt. It got to the point where WADA stepped in, remember? So we could using your definition of "history of doping" say Jamaica has a history of doping.

1. bolt has never been caught with drugs
2. jamaica's doping history does not exonerate australia's clearly entrenched doping issue and the justifiable skepticism that would follow their athletes from informed onlookers and fans

1. bolt has never been caught with drugs....we are saying the same thing
2. jamaica's doping history does not exonerate australia's clearly entrenched doping issue and the justifiable skepticism that would follow their athletes from informed onlookers and fans.....are you skeptical of any Jamaican track athlete given their "clearly entrenched doping issue"?
