Jamaican sprinter in Doha dope doubt
KINGSTON • Jamaica's world Under-20 sprint double gold medallist Briana Williams has tested positive for a banned diuretic, her lawyer said, potentially ruling the 17-year-old out of the athletics World Championships in Doha next month.
Williams has denied any wrongdoing and her lawyer Emir Crowne said the banned substance hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), which can mask the use of anabolic steroids, appeared to have been in an over-the-counter cold remedy she had purchased.
