KINGSTON:
Two Jamaican athletes, Dominique Blake and Ricardo Cunningham, have had their disciplinary hearings into doping charges adjourned. Blake, a 400-metre relay runner who went to the London Olympics as an alternate but did not compete, tested positive for a banned stimulant in June. Her case was adjourned until December 3 after her attorney was given the wrong court documents. Cunningham, who tested positive for pseudo-ephedrine but is arguing ‘no fault or negligence,’ had his case adjourned until November 1 so that a doctor could appear in person to testify on his behalf.
