With the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) holding their "Play True Day" on April 9, TTOC is looking to take measures in the future to ensure more people are tested in their pool.

Terry Ali, chairman of TTOC's Anti-Doping Organisation has asked athletes to get involved online by spreading public messages or small videos to support clean sport.

"We are encouraging all athletes to just send in a statement or a video about themselves doing something in sport like training with a statement 'I support Play True' to the Trinidad and Tobago Anti-Doping Organisation.

"All countries who are affiliated to WADA, they have a programme of drug testing and drug awareness so that they enforce drug testing programmes and drug education programmes for their country so that all athletes are aware that drug testing is of significance."

He also added that more testing can be done and will endeavour to make it more frequent.

Ali said, "There is always room for increased numbers of testing, but national anti-doping organisations have to be compliant with WADA and we work out together a test distribution plan every year looking at the high risk, medium risk and low risk sports - sports with different degrees of risk of using doping methods."

Last year, TTOC conducted 49 to 50 tests across all its sports and plans to double that next year.

Some of the most notable track and field athletes to fail drug tests from the nation include Kelly-Ann Baptiste and Semoy Hackett who were later both part of the bronze medal winning 4x100 metres relay team at the 2015 World Athletics Championships in Beijing.

Most recently, Commonwealth Games champion Michelle-Lee Ahye, who was also part of that 2015 team, was banned for two years in January 2020.
