Six-time Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt<\/a> is a beacon of hope in a sport rocked by elite athletes who tests positive for banned substances<\/a>, a top sports medicine specialist in Jamaica stated.<\/p>\n

Dr Paul Wright says Jamaica would suffer from infinite distress should Bolt\u2019s name fall on the wrong side of any drug test.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsain Bolt<\/a> has been tested more often, I think, than all of the athletes in Jamaica, and he is well aware of his importance to the sport,\u201d declared Dr Wright, the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCo) doping control officer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember, and this is a quote from Usain, \u2018if I test positive, the whole Jamaica dead\u2019 and that is true\u201d.<\/p>\n

Meantime, Dr Wright is warning athletes, some of whom he believes are taking undetectable performance-enhancing drugs, that they will be caught.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to catch everybody. We all know that there are chemists who change around these steroids. All you have to do is change one of the wings of these steroids, it will have the same effect and it\u2019s undetectable,\u201d Dr Wright explained. \u2013 Trinidad Express Newspapers<\/a><\/p>\n
