Expedited hearing date to be sought for Brianna Williams

by August 28th, 2019

An  expedited  hearing  date   is   expected  to  be  sought  for IAAF Double World  under  20  gold  medal  winner  Brianna  Williams   who  has  returned  a  positive  test  for  the   diuretic hydro-chloro-thia-zide.

This  as  she  hopes  to  retain  her  place  on  Jamaica’s  team  to  the  i-double-a-f  world  championships  in  Doha  Qatar  next  month  and  with  the  team  to  be  submitted  by  next  Friday.

The  young  Jamaican  star  athlete  had   her  “a”  sample  returning  a  positive  test   at  the  national  trials  in  June  where  she  ended  3rd  in  the  senior  100  metres  final  in  a  spectacular  10.94  seconds, behind  Elaine  Thompson  and  shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce.

Her B’  sample  has  also  tested  positive.

The 17-year-old Williams faces a maximum  4  years  ban   for a first offence under the world anti-doping agency (WADA) rules.

Williams is reported to  have  taken  an  over-the-counter cold medicine during  the  national  trials and had declared it on her doping control form.
