Trinidad and Tobago will very soon have anti -doping legislation in place as the TTOC has been working with the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs and is confident that the vital legislative tool in the fight for drug -free sport in T&T will happen by the end of the year.
The National Olympic Committee can confirm that T&T is a member of the Caribbean-wide regional anti-doping organisation which has been set up and championed by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
The TTOC has had full support from the authorities in progressing the anti-doping agenda locally and regionally.
TTOC officials were responding to the news that a Jamaican Olympian had tested positive even though Jamaica's Senate had recently passed anti-doping legislation.
The TTOC anti-doping programme includes education and awareness .Athletes representing the TTOC are also required to sign a code of conduct agreement .
