Just curious if Jamaican drug testing has changed at all. I know that heading into the 2016 Olympics that it was a joke and that basically no one was getting tested outside of competition. There have also been reports of past cover ups as well. I've tried to do a bit of research and haven't really been able to find anything. Has WADA cracked down on them? Do they even have any out of competition testing at all? I never could find any information on how many times Bolt was even tested out of competition, if any.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Yes, virtually no serious testing.

They have you take a few tokes and see if it causes any impairment over 100m.

Victor Conte is hardly an unbiased source. He has made his living helping people dope. He has a vested interest in convincing people it is widespread and that you cant win without it.

I'd be interesting in hearing about the state of testing in Jamaica from an actual unbiased (or as close as we can come in this sport) source.
