As Usain Bolt begins his first day of training for the 2014 season, he goes about his normal routine with an uncertain competitive future as Jamaica's Anti-Doping Commission and the World Anti-Doping Agency plan an investigation into the island's testing facilities and policies.  

In an exclusive interview with WADA President John Fahey, The Telegraph reports WADA may threaten Jamaica with a competition ban if the country is found guilty of non-compliance after a delay in the investigation was pushed to 2014. 

WADA was planning on visiting Jamaica to investigate the red flags raised by Renee Anne-Shirley, the former head of Jamaica's Anti-Doping Commission. Anne-Shirley told Sports Illustrated Magazine that Jamaica failed to carry out more than one drug test in the five months leading up to the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London.

Fahey wanted WADA to visit the island in the coming months, but JADCO would not accommodate a visit until January 2014. This upset him and the doping agency and now they may plan on responding with action.

“To suggest to WADA they’re not ready to meet with us to talk about their problem until sometime next year is unsatisfactory," Fahey told The Telegraph. "It’s totally unacceptable to me and we shall act appropriately within an appropriate time frame.”

Fahey would not specify whether they would be considered non-compliant, because there are several options of response.  

Although Olympic gold medalists like Usain Bolt and Shelley-Anne Fraser Pryce may have nothing to do with JADCO or the investigation, they may be barred from competition at big events like World Championships or Olympics, if WADA punishes the country until an investigation is fully carried out.

Bolt originally announced that he planned on retiring after the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio De Janeiro before backtracking on his original statement. His coach Glen Mills told Jamaica’s Sunday Gleaner that doping accusations and suggestions that Jamaicans are cheating both him.

Although JADCO did not administer any tests of their own on Bolt in the months leading up to the Olympics, Bolt was tested 12 times internationally as he competed on the Diamond League circuit. He has never returned a positive test.

All of this news in Jamaica comes after a summer in which five athletes were linked to performance enhancing drugs including former world record holder Asafa Powell and  Olympian Sherone Simpson. The two have been expelled from MVP Track Club by coach Stephen Francis unless they left agent Paul Doyle. Powell remains in Jamaica without a training group and Simpson has moved to Florida to train with Loren Seagrave, according to Track Alerts.

Any further action between JADCO and WADA will be followed closely in the coming months before the planned visit in January. Bolt has always done a great job of staving off pressure and this debacle, which he has no control over, should not hinder his training.
