PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad – – World class sprinter Kelly-Ann Baptiste will know her fate at the end of January when she faces a panel set up by the National Association of Athletic Administration (NAAA) into the findings of a positive test.
The 27 year old withdrew from the 2013 World Championships due to a failed drug test taken earlier in the year. The doping hearing of sprinter Semoy Hackett will be held in New York in February.
