WADA justified the Jamaican sprinters, in the samples of which Klenboterol was discovered

The World Anti -Doping Agency (WADA) explained the refusal to conduct an investigation against sprinters from Jamaica, in the samples of the 2008 Olympiad during the re -processing, traces of the Klenbuterol were discovered.

The WADA press release claims that the concentration of this prohibited substance was minimal and amounted to less than 1 ng/ml.

On Saturday, the German ARD television channel showed the next doping film, which reported the detection of Klenbuterol in the samples of urine of several sprinters of the Olympic Jamaica team in athletics. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) knew about this, but did not start an investigation.

WADA claims that the concentration of the substance is in the range of possible cases of consuming infected meat. MOK voiced the same position. Organizations considered it unreasonable to investigate these cases and ask the athletes to prove that the detection of Klenbuterol is associated with infected meat, especially eight years after its use.

According to ARD, the Jamaica team brought to the games of its cook, which was prepared from the Jamaican products, so the likelihood of Klenbuterol entering the body of this country through meat is extremely small.

Klenbutherol is anabolic steroid, which is used to increase the athlete's productivity by increasing muscle mass and reducing fat deposits.

At the end of January, the IOC annulled the result of the Jamaica team in the 4 x 100 m relay race, which won the gold medals of the 2008 games, due to the positive test of the crankcase for the prohibited substance methylhexanamine. Then the Olympic medal was lost by the multiple Olympic champion Usain Bolt, who took part in the relay.
