Baptiste case resolved says NAAAs

by

20150130

The Na­tion­al As­so­ci­a­tion of Ath­let­ics Ad­min­is­tra­tions (NAAA) has con­firmed that the Kel­ly-Ann Bap­tiste case has been re­solved be­fore the Court of Ar­bi­tra­tion for Sport ("CAS"), based in Lau­sanne, Switzer­land.

Fur­ther to the con­fi­den­tial­i­ty pro­vi­sions ap­plic­a­ble to the pro­ceed­ings, the award of the CAS will not be made pub­lic. How­ev­er, the NAAA con­firmed that Bap­tiste is free to re­turn to com­pe­ti­tion with im­me­di­ate ef­fect.

The NAAA re­it­er­at­ed its com­mit­ment to the pro­mo­tion of drug-free sport and stat­ed that in view of the new World An­ti-Dop­ing Code which came in­to ef­fect on Jan­u­ary 1, it was look­ing for­ward to part­ner­ships with oth­er stake­hold­ers in fos­ter­ing an en­vi­ron­ment of clean and fair sport in T&T.

Bap­tiste test­ed pos­i­tive for a banned sub­stance at the IAAF World Cham­pi­onships, in Moscow, Rus­sia in 2013.

She with­drew from the com­pe­ti­tion.

Last Au­gust, af­ter 16 months off the track, it seemed Bap­tiste would fi­nal­ly be al­lowed to com­pete again af­ter the NAAA dis­ci­pli­nary pan­el lift­ed her ban.

How­ev­er, a week lat­er, the NAAA was no­ti­fied that the IAAF (In­ter­na­tion­al As­so­ci­a­tion of Ath­let­ics Fed­er­a­tions) had ap­pealed the de­ci­sion of the dis­ci­pli­nary pan­el to the CAS in Lau­sanne, Switzer­land, and in so do­ing, re­in­stat­ed Bap­tiste's ban.

During my consultation with Ms Brafit CEO Nicole Joseph-Chin, what was supposed to be a simple mastectomy bra fitting became something much deeper. Her thoughtful questions unlocked emotions I didn’t even realise I was holding in. She comforted, reassured, and helped me face the truth of what was coming. That bra wasn’t just clothing—it was the first real symbol of life after surgery.
