Andre Russells anti-doping hearing, looking into the Jamaican Anti-Doping Commissions (JADCO) claim that the West Indies allrounder had missed three dope tests in a 12-month period, resulting in a whereabouts-clause violation, has been adjourned to September 28.According to the WADA code, three missed tests amount to a failed dope test and the athlete could face a ban of up to two years. Russell was present at the hearing in Kingston, having skipped the three-T20I series against Pakistan in the UAE, citing personal reasons.On September 19, Russells lawyer, Patrick Forster, argued in front of the independent anti-doping disciplinary commission that the burden of proof was on JADCO to show Russell was negligent in fulfilling his whereabouts-clause obligations on January 1, July 1 and July 25, 2015, when he was supposed to undergo out-of-competition dope tests.The thrust of our case is that the doping authority, JADCO, must prove negligence that has to emerge in the context of the evidence as it is given, so that is, essentially, our position. The burden of proof is on JADCO, Forster told the Jamaica Gleaner. I dont want to comment too much on the details of the evidence in the midst of cross-examining the witness, but a good portion of the cross-examination relates to the July to September quarter, where JADCO recorded two filing failures, so in cross-examination, I am just questioning the basis which they arrived at two filing failures for the same quarter.After preliminary hearings in late July, the independent panel comprising Hugh Faulkner (chairman), Dr Marjorie Vassell, and former Jamaica cricketer Dixeth Palmer, was supposed to carry out a two-day hearing starting Monday. However, it was curtailed because a second key witness, Carey Brown, the JADCOs executive director, could not be present as he was recovering from an accident.Mondays hearing began with JADCOs legal counsel, attorney Lackston Johnson, explaining to the panel how Russell had failed to respond despite being sent reminders three times.Forster cross-examined the first witness Nadia Vassell, the whereabouts officer and director of technical services at JADCO. According to the Jamaica Observer, Vassell told Forster that a first reminder was sent to Russell through a letter on July 6, 2015. An extension was given to Russell to file his whereabouts by July 13, 2015. On July 20, Vassell sent another email to Russell asking him to file his whereabouts by July 24.According to the Observer the panel was likely to dispose of the case by October 7.

Jenson Button feels the FIA has been more open to driver opinions since they wrote an open letter questioning the state of Formula One earlier this season.In March the Grand Prix Drivers Association (GPDA), of which Button is a director, called for an overhaul of F1s obsolete and ill-structured decision-making process. It followed the controversy over elimination qualifying, which could not be scrapped in time for the Bahrain Grand Prix despite a farcical debut in Australia.F1s drivers have no official voting power on new regulations, which are devised by F1s Strategy Group, voted on by the F1 Commission and rubber-stamped by the FIAs World Motor Sport Council. The letter called on F1 to devise a master plan to restructure this format to prevent similar gridlock in future.?Though there has been no change to the structure Button thinks the FIA has been more willing to listen to what drivers have to say since the GPDA went public.?We feel that we do have a say anyway and since our comments earlier in the year, the FIA have been more open to our opinions, but they would prefer it is behind closed doors rather than in the press, Button said.dddddddddddd I think that we have a reasonable say but you always want more because you always think we have more to give, rather than take, and thats definitely what were here to do -- make the sport a better place.Bernie Ecclestone memorably replied to the open letter by calling the drivers windbags, saying they should keep opinions to themselves. Button thinks the letter proved drivers care about improving the sport as much as possible.I think it showed to the world that there are issues in F1 and the drivers know they are issues and are willing to help. Of course we got replies from certain individuals and I think our comments were valid and I think they understand that.The important thing is that were all willing to what we can to improve the sport, because the sports not in a bad place but its not as good as it should be and not as good as it will be. Things like this, little regulations with yellow flags, the radio, that we need to come up with a solution that works for us all. ' ' '
