Several Jamaican retests from 2008 were found positive for Clenbuterol. IOC and WADA didn't act on it, because it could have been contaminated meat.
Yep...Jamaica AND Kenyan doping good, Russia doping bad.

I wonder how this will be handled. Will this be investigated further or will a lot of effort be put into sweeping this under the carpet?

Small amounts of the banned substance clenbuterol have been retroactively found in the samples of Jamaican sprinters at the 2008 Olympic Games, according to a report on Sunday.
German broadcaster ARD claims the International Olympic Committee (IOC) learnt of the discovery late last year, but no action has been taken as the levels detected by testing using updated techniques are so small.
ARD has not specified which Jamaican athletes' samples are affected from the Beijing Games, where superstar Usain Bolt won three gold medals, but said other athletes from other countries also failed retroactive testing.
The ARD report quotes Olivier Niggli, director of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), saying: "I am aware of the fact that there are Jamaican cases with very low levels of clenbuterol.
If the amounts found are relatively low compared to direct intake of the substance, WADA accepts that such cases are not announced.".
They way they picked (paid) that random street character from Iten, Freddy, as their main source, sensationally describing him as "a Kenyan athlete" and magically "found" EPO and syringes that just happened to be lying about, in full view, on a bed in an unlocked room was a total joke and majorly discredited them. Lornah's place had to explain that the rules and practices of the establishment would make their story impossible. On the other hand, they did help expose some corrupt officials which really is Kenya's biggest problem.

Because such things are completely non-existent in utopian western societies, right? I'd tell you to take a minute to reflect on the offensiveness of your post, but that would be futile. Are you German, by the way?

lets be honest. kenians have a hard life and as such would do anything to get some money. including robbing, stealing and scam. a bit of doping really is the least bad and unlikely of things
Not really surprised. Elite sprinters=genetics plus drugs, and to be fair how much cleaner are American track athletes? Only two kinds of sprinters as many have said on this forum, one caught for using steroids, one who is still getting away.

Russian doping bad because Russia didn't pay. Apparently, Jamaica is paying well.
