Sportfanx, I wont speculate on whose test might have been switched. But the samples were CLEARLY tampered with. There was even a sample missing. Mullings original type out sample cover was handwritten over.
Maybe nothing happened, but when samples are tampered with thats makes the whole ordeal look underhanded.
Furthermore, the JAAA does do testing, but they don't have an independent testing body. I won't even go into the problems tha can arise from this set-up.

That test was taking by the JAAA (and tampered with), then sent to the IAAF for them to run test. The ID numbers didnt match at the JAAA level. These are facts, not speculation. Its questionable if that test really belonged to Mullings.
Your on this board spreading misinformation about the JAAA and its testing procedures. The JAAA DOES do testing, hell they test at their OWN trials. BUT there is NO oversight body or committee to keep the process honest. You can't sell me those lemons and tell me they are oranges. I KNOW the facts on this.
The US has an independent drug testing body outside the USATF.

Go post the facts about CARL LEWIS Positive Drugs test cover up in 1988.
Everyone know (Well the people who know the truth) that WADA/IAAF staffs do drug testing for Jamaica, and the SAMPLES are send to WADA/IAAF Certified Laboratories.
Do you guys think by testing athletes, it is the sure way to catch them? What about unknown and undetectable drugs? Very naive to assume everyon who tests negative is also 100% clean.

Stop Hating!!
I'm not hating, I freely admit Carl Lewis AND several others in his camp test positive for ban substances.
But again your continue to spread misinformation about the process the JAAA uses.
The process is equivalent to a TJ being the judge and measuring his own jumps or better yet the accused being the judge at his own trial.

My man, Guru of track just hit you with facts homie, he's not hating. Get off that for once and just man up and admit you really don't know the deal. He does!
Make up you'll minds. First Jamaica don't have a drug testing and now They do testing.
The information is on IAAF websites, so I'm sure if you really want to know you would. ANY COUNTRY THAT DON'T HAVE A ANTI-DOPING COMMITTEE and FACILITIES in place. The IAAF representatives are the ones who do the TEST in that country. That is an IAAF rule and that on the WEBSITE Plain as day. IN 2004 the IAAF representatives and results send to their certified Laboratories . Go burn in hell with that crap!!

But most already knew this....
Only way to solve doping is having independent bodies controlling this procedure. Unfortunately, we've learned the hard way.

This is equivalent to saying Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11. Its misleading at a minimum or an outright lie at some level.
"I know a lot of NCAA coaches around the country who are very skeptical of the situation down there in Jamaica," said Al Schmidt, who is now in his 17th season as the head coach for the Mississippi State's men's and women's track teams.
"I guess we were also naive to not fight this as hard as we should have. We put our faith in the JAAA and it appears that they didn't know what they were doing."

Come on guys. Jamaica is the 5th most tested country in the world. That's a fact. Just be honest here. The IAAF published the information late last year or early this year. Look it up.
Oh an American saying he/she is skeptical of system in Jamaica.
I would be digging a whole to hide my face, If was in associated with what took place IN 1988 in USA. IT'S ASHAME AND DISGRACE!! But then again, it's common place to you.
LOL, I'm sure you saying with a straight face. "I admit Carl Lewis tested Positive" And he was still allowed to take part, but that just to show the INTEGRITY OF USA Track and Field Body.
I see...if they don't have any form of moral responsibility... I don't expect their fans to do.

USATF has not had anything to do with testing since USADA was formed.

Just great, just what we need right before World Championships…I don’t care who it is, but we the public need to be informed. This right here is one of the reasons I don’t point fingers at the US athletes and I don’t buy into the “we are Jamaicans, we don’t do drugs” hype…Anybody can do it, and anyone can be susceptible to the lure of wanting to be on top, no matter the cost…It’s bad enough some of our athletes are suspected of being dirty, now this…
I was unfamiliar with the whole Steve Mullings situation until about 2 years ago, and after reading abt it, I must admit, things are real sketchy, now I'm not pointing fingers, but sometimes, we need to stop blaming the Americans and pointing out their mishaps to deflect from our issues. While I think the majority of the Jamaican athletes are clean, its situations like this that goes to show that you can never be 100% sure of anyone AND that drug use in track and field is every country's problem and Jamaica is not immune because the athletes are humans...No amount of chastisement from our people or possible death from overzealous gunmen is going to deter someone from taking drugs if it means tiime in the spotlight.... We as fans and even citizens need to wake up. It's time we stop this damn US vs Jamaica problem and see the issues for what they are. Jamaica HAS a drug problem too. While it's not a prominent situation, it is a situation that has occurred, and I don't care if whoever is caught trains in the US or not. The fact of the matter is, it's a Jamaican athlete. And for those who think that drugs can't cross the border or can't be accessible to an athlete if needs be, please take off the rose colored glasses.
I however applaud the JAAA for bringing to light the situation, and await the revelation of these athletes. I also hope that this situation also pushes them to enforce more stringent policies and to encourage them to step up their game in the fight to clean up our sport.

The situation has not changed since 2004. Its the same exact system. The question is 'Do you have faith in the current system?'
Some people just won't be happy unless Bolt or Asafa test positve.
I agree with this sentiment also nony. This was my feelings on Trackshark when almost everyone said that steve was pushed under the bus to protect asafa and I was like really??? My thing is while that whole incident was sketchy, you wanna tell me that had asafa been using he wouldnt have been caught already by the iaaf, and i don't think i'm naive to think that...as much as I endured on TS as a Jamaican, I know a lot of these TS posters have changed their tune towards especially asafa and bolt, but are secretly hoping they test postive to confirm their suspicions...I know some are just waiting like vultures for these two names to be called, and don't get me started on how they did SAF

Well maybe you should be a little bit more diligent with your search for facts as this article seem to contradict your proclamation on being an expert of JAAA's polices and procedure. http://tinyurl.com/n7k3wg

It's quite simple for some people, the only way we will believe in your testing procedures is to bring us postive test of all your top athletes. No way that poor ass third world country of only 2.8 million can be that good. guru seems so frustrated like him out fi start bawl.

All of a sudden mr 9.84 man is going below 9.8
Yeah, and Mr. I can slow down, give daps to my Jamaican Long Jumper teammate, while playing dominos, afterwards, catch a game of spades, win that, then do a peppa seed dance off against Spagga Benz and still break the world record, once was a 400m runner Bolt is now talking about running 9.5. Now Mr. 10,03 one year to friggin 8.89 the next is just the product of good home training and grass tracks training right???
Point two at me, I can point three right back at you!
A few things from the article I would like cleared up, I'm sure you have probably been over this but I wasn't at Trackshark when this went down....
Mullings is trying to request a DNA sample from the original test to prove that it's not his. Mullings continues to fight that he is innocent of any wrongdoing
What happened with this?
According to published reports from the BBC, Mullings tested positive twice for testosterone.
So there was the June 24 test and then what? It says in the article his next test on August 5 was negative.
Meanwhile, Dr. Marion Bullock-Ducasse has been asked to chair an interim committee set up by the newly formed Jamaica Anti Doping Agency, until the appropriate legislation has been put in place.
So there is a Jamaica Anti Doping Agency? But the JAAA conducts the tests?

Oh snap!!! he came hard, not bad for a poor country with 2.8 million people, running on grass tracks. What a great think it would be if Bolt does go 9.5, Carl wpuld piss his panties.
Well the plot thickens as a significant number is now rumoured to have tested positive. Does seem odd that those being implicated did not gain much not even PBs as they were only alternate half pints.
Hmmmm there have always being proper testing at JAAA trials so its not a question of prudence so could this be a backlash of their Beijing success as athletes who missed out on the blings in China wanted in on the Berlin gold rush.
Also this without question clarifies the independence of the Jamaica dope testing agency.
The worst taste in my mouth is NOT about the cheats who have been found out and will be appropriately punished, but a large country whose drug taking athletes habits, especially in sprints up to 400m, brought more ignominy to and disgust with our sport than any other, except East Germany.
Yes, we are talking Olympic Champions and World Champions and an endless list of 400m sprinters huzzahed by those fans shouting ''we are the best''. These athletes in that country were able to play the lawyer game for too long with a mealy- mouthed National track and field authority who spouted weak kneed rubbish on several famous occasions ( a fellow called Reynolds springs to mind)
Many posters on this Forum were not, I suspect, as ruthlessly tough on their athletes cheating, which we lesser mortals knew had been going on throughout the track and field scene throughout the Eighties and Nineties.
Nothing so nasty and hypocritical as the almost joyful ,speculative and largely hysterical outbursts against 5 Jamaican cheats . What a good idea if the posters of that country were to leave it to Jamaicans to express sadness and disappoinment at what is about to unfold.
One thing that independent track fans know is that a lot of that particular country's fans can never forgive, deep in the hearts, the fact that Bolt , Asafa and the Jamaican women sprinters are currently, but not forever, possibly better at the very apex than this country's sprinters. Just look athe obsession with the hundreds and hundreds of posts about Gay, Bolt etc.
Yes, posters, its the United States of America.
Track and field is still continuing despite Jones, Gatlin and others who never were officially caught out..!!!
