Local sport has been rocked by even more anti-doping violations, as two more athletes tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs (PED), including seasoned sprinter Jade Bailey and former three-time Mr Barbados Hoskin Worrell.

The news broke yesterday after the National Anti-Doping Commission (NADC) released a list of five Bajan sportspeople who returned adverse analytical findings from testing done in the last quarter of 2017.

That release also included national sprinter Levi Cadogan, three-time Mr Barbados bodybuilding champion Stevenson Belle and 2015 national men’s physique champion Ryan Haynes, who all previously made the news for various infractions.

But the identities of Worrell and Bailey weren’t released to the public until yesterday when the NADC disclosed that both high-profile athletes tested positive for prohibited substances. (JM)
