World 200m champion Brown provisionally suspended after a positive test for banned substance


World 200m champion Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica has been provisionally suspended after a positive test for a banned substance, reports BBC.

Campbell-Brown, 31, tested positive on 4 May for a banned diuretic. She is suspended pending her "B sample" result, the Jamaican Athletics Administrative Association said, and faces a two-year ban from athletics.

The banned diuretic for which she tested positive at the Jamaica Invitational meet is considered by the World Anti-Doping Agency to be a masking agent.


Campbell-Brown won 200m and 4x100m relay golds at the 2004 Olympics in Athens and retained her 200m title in Beijing four years later. She has won 16 medals for her country in world and Olympic meets and at London 2012 took bronze in the 100m and was a member of Jamaica's silver medal-winning sprint relay team.

Seven feet tall Usain Bolt provided custom made bed at Olympics
Mills asked for it to be replaced by a custom-built 7ft mattress, which Bolt used for the first time on Tuesday night.
The Olympic 100 metres and 200m champion withdrew from Thursday’s grand prix in Monaco after complaining of tightness in his hamstring in the aftermath of his defeat by Yohan Blake at the Jamaican Olympic trials last month.

West Indies vs New Zealand: 2nd ODI - Free Live Streaming | 7 July 2012



The visiting New Zealand cricket team plays its 2nd ODI against the hosts west Indies at at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica Saturday afternoon.



The visitors lost the first ODI to the hosts by nine wickets and many are of the view that the result of the second ODI would not be much different from the first.


Chris Gayle in the West Indian squad is unstoppable with his three half centuries recently, while Russel's devastating opening spell demolished the vistors in the first ODI right from the outset.


On the other hand, the rather inexperienced batting lineof the Kiwis is going to struggle as they did in the first ODI - unless Kane Williamson, the Kiwi skipper leads from the front, it is a West Indies day again today.

Probable Opposing squads:
West Indies: DJG Sammy*, TL Best, DJ Bravo, J Charles, CH Gayle, SP Narine, KA Pollard, D Ramdin†, R Rampaul, AD Russell, MN Samuels, LMP Simmons, DR Smith

New Zealand: LRPL Taylor*, TA Boult, DAJ Bracewell, DG Brownlie, AM Ellis, DR Flynn, MJ Guptill, TWM Latham, NL McCullum, KD Mills, TS Nethula, RJ Nicol, JDP Oram, TG Southee, BJ Watling†, KS Williamson

The match is scheduled for Saturday, 7 July 2012 at14: 30 GMT at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica
