Carey Brown (r), Executive Director, JADCO explains to Javon Francis, athlete (l) and Andrea Hardware, athlete support personnel (c) that there are significant changes to sections of the World Anti-Doping Code that will take effect on January 1, 2015. The occasion was the inaugural Senior Athletes Anti-Doping Education Workshop held on Saturday November 22, 2014, at the Liguanea Club in New Kingston. The workshop targeted senior athletes from all sporting disciplines in JADCO’s Registered Testing Pool (RTP) and their support personnel, as well as senior athletes from tertiary institutions. As a result of the workshop, participants were able to increase their knowledge of the role of JADCO, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the Jamaica Anti-Doping Programme. They were also informed of the doping control process, revisions to the World Anti-Doping Code, banned substances and the importance of proper nutrition.
