Jamaican athletes Dominique Blake and Ricardo Cunningham face bans for alleged doping 4x400m relay star Dominique Blake and national 800m senior champion Ricardo Cunningham will face the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) on Oct 17, after an initial meeting in Kingston yesterday, over doping violations returned by the pair at Jamaica's senior championships in June. According to the Jamaica Observer, Cunningham tested positive for pseudoephedrine, while the substance allegedly found in Blake's sample was not named. Cunningham, who trains with the MVP track club in Jamaica, appeared in person at the initial hearing while Blake, who has previously served a nine-month ban, sent a representative. Blake, who finished sixth in the women's 400m final in 51.83 seconds, was part of the Jamaica team at the London Olympic Games as a relay alternate, but did not compete. The 25 year-old had criticised her omission from the preliminary rounds of the women's relay on Aug 10, saying on social media that team politics were to blame. Blake represented Jamaica at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Turkey in March, where she qualified for the semi-finals of the 400m and also competed at the CAC Games and Commonwealth Games in 2010. Cunningham won the men's 800m at the trials, but was not selected for the Olympic team after failing to make the qualifying standards. Last November, former Jamaican relay world champion Steve Mullings was banned for life from competing in athletics after a second doping offence.
