Former World 100m record holder, Asafa Powell, banned for doping

Former world 100m record holder Asafa Powell has been banned for 18 months for doping offences. The 32 year old athlete was banned by the Jamaican Anti-doping disciplinary commission for testing positive for banned substance oxilofrine before running at the 2013 National Championship.

A disciplinary panel of the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission announced today Thursday April 10th that the Powell will be excluded from competition until December 2014, with the ban backdated to the time of his original sample collection in June 2013.

He's permitted to return to competitions on Dec. 20 2014. He has since said he plans to appeal against the 'unjust' ban. Powell won gold medal in 2008 after he completed the 100m dash in 9.79secs. He was out-shined the following year by Usain Bolt.

      Wait that guy that cut his father's head off and finished the neck meat with no salt or Maggi where was he from again? Oh and that houseboy that cut off his madam's head..he was also ibo too..thank goodness the caught the bastard before he was able to eat the neck. Oh and that jerk that just killed his wife in Texas last week..oh and the the guy the just caught in Malaysia for drugs..oh and the guy that padlocked his 3yr old son's mouth and beat him to death...I mean..i could go on. Long story short..stop the tribalism..every tribe has its retard. Although anon 9:05 is a legendary ignorant Sonovabitch for thinking asafa Powell is Yoruba. I mean what part of human meat were your parents eating when the conceived ur dumbass..must've been the anus
