The team from the World Anti Doping Agency has arrived in Jamaica.
The team, led by Rob Koehler and includes Rune Andersen and Kerwin Clarke arrived on an Air Canada flight from Toronto approximately 1:41pm at the Norman Manley International Airport.
Koehler and his team said nothing to waiting reporters as they existed the terminal building.
This latest development comes on the heels of WADA's President, John Fahey, vowing to take action against JADCO, including possibly deeming the country "non-compliant" with its drug-testing responsibilities.
In an interview with the UK Telegraph, Fahey described as “farcical” JADCO’s decision to defer an extraordinary audit of its Anti-doping programme until the new year.
David Howman, WADA’s Director General, had planned to lead a commission to Jamaica to investigate allegations by Ann Shirley, former JADCO Executive Director, that the Jamaican agency conducted no drug tests in the five months leading up to last year’s Summer Olympics.
In August, Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller of Jamaica had extended an invitation WADA to visit the country for talks pertaining to JADCO.
