But the rules and goals of no doping still apply. Yes, most countries sending representatives to the Olympics, regardless of their size in population, or position in global financial standings, aspire to have “clean”athletes show up and represent. And like the USA, Jamaica has had its share of issues in tightening up the loopholes that “dirty” athletes keep finding. However, things have significantly improved for the better, matching the requirements of the IOC. It is now at the point where the athletes are rigorously tested, especially after such performances at the Tokyo Olympics. Finally, Jamaica is an island that has always shown up on the world’s track stage, but some people forget about that. They even try to be insultive by saying it’s a place where “Jamaicans walk barefoot to get to their coconut carts”. Criticize the locals all you want, but they are constantly reminded to remain humble, respectful and appreciative. Work hard, and the success will come. And it has, and is still coming. Everyone knows that athletic success doesn’t last forever, so right now, Jamaicans all over the globe are giddily celebrating the women’s performances of 1,2,3, (Tokyo, [Diamond League 2021 — Prefontaine Classic, Lausanne Classic]). Congratulations to the Jamaican athletes! Congratulations to all the athletes who represented, and still are representing their countries! This Jamerican (Jamaican-American) is very proud of you!!!
