The Gleaner can confirm that Jamaican sprinter Veronica Campbell-Brown returned a positive test at the May 4 Jamaica Invitational at the National Stadium.

The sprinter, who has won 16 medals for Jamaica at the Olympic and World Championships level, turned up a diuretic in her A sample and was advised of the adverse analytical finding on June 3.

Diuretics are masking agents banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency because of their ability to hide the presence of performance-enhancing drugs in the system.

According to well-placed sources, Campbell-Brown, along with her management team, was in Montreal for the testing of the B sample on Thursday, with the confirmation of the positive result said to have come sometime yesterday.

On Marion Jones:
"Whatever Marion (Jones) has done has put a dark cloud over the sport ... As soon as someone runs a 10.7 (seconds in the women's 100 metres) people are going to say 'that's another Marion'. Marion was one of the most recognised and respected sprinters."
Campbell-Brown, January 25, 2008 The Gleaner.

On her new workouts at The Brauman camp:
"We are getting older, getting more mature, (it's) to maximise our potential. You can't keep to the same regime."

On doping:
"It's natural to question a lot of things in life. Over the years, when you look at all the past times that people ran, as soon as somebody run extremely fast people are going to speculate and are going to criticise. All I can, and all everybody need to do, is to continue train hard. You cannot really listen to what people have to say because not everybody's going to have positive things to say. You just have to focus on yourself and what you have to do."
October 7, 2008, The Gleaner in response to United States Olympic legend, Carl Lewis' criticisms of top Jamaican athletes and Jamaica's drug testing.
