Congratulations to Jamaican sprinters Usain Bolt and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce World Athletes of the Year 2013. These awards were given by the International Association of Athletes Federation which was held in Monaco November 16, 2013. These awards could not have come at a better time for these Jamaican Athletes. As they’re being scrutinized for the drug testing policy by the World Anti-doping Commission.
It appears that Jamaica is been targeted in the testing in comparisons to other countries. As early as last week, Shelly-Ann threatens to boycott upcoming International events unless Jamaica show support for their athletes. Ms. Fraser-Pryce went on to say these allegations were “hurtful”. She said, “We believe that we deserve to not have our names tarnished “.
