Mix Includes Exclusive Track by Dancehall Star Mavado Jamaica
NIKE RELEASES ASAFA POWELL’S TRAIN FOR SPEED WORKOUT ON ITUNES Mix Includes Exclusive Track by Dancehall Star Mavado Nike and Olympic sprinter Asafa Powell have teamed up with Reggae label VP Records to create a Nike Sport Music workout featuring the exclusive track, “On The Go (Faster Than Bullet),” by one of the athlete’s favorite artists, Mavado. Called Asafa Powell: Train for Speed, the 35-minute interval workout is coached by Asafa over a reggae/dancehall soundtrack. Among the genre-defining songs included on the mix are some of reggae’s greatest artists of the past, present, and future, providing a musical backdrop for running that is both unique and effective. After all, two of Jamaica’s greatest exports are music and sprinters—it was only a matter of time before they came together in one pulse-pounding project. The only athlete to have run the 100-meter dash in under 9.8 seconds more than once (he did it five times), Asafa Powell knows speed. He has distinguished himself as one of the world’s fastest humans, having held the world record in the 100 for three years, from 2005-2008. In the Asafa Powell: Train for Speed workout, Asafa coaches runners through a 35-minute training session with four high-speed intervals that descend in length. The goal of the workout is to increase an athlete’s endurance and speed, with musical motivation coming from the athlete’s homeland. Reggae music is often associated with laid-back island rhythms, but there are several subgenres that up the tempo to a runner’s pace, including dancehall, a style that has been influential on hip-hop since its inception.

Press Release Chasing Time
Press release April 2014 Press preview 4 June 2014 Chasing time From 5 June 2014 to 18 January 20152015, The Olympic Museum in Lausanne is hosting a new exhibition entitled Chasing Time ,,, which takes the visitor on a journey through time, as it is experienced in sport, socially, technologically and artistically. It is no coincidence that the Olympic motto starts with “Faster”. Time is one of the essential elements for designating winners and losers and for establishing records. Time, in a sporting context, is measured and quantified, but it also incites enthusiasm and passion. The passage of time is inexorable, but this exhibition aims to show Man’s ingeniousness and the artistic creativity that can lead to the observation and study of time, be it in painting, sculpture, music or cinema. Through inventive scenography by Lorenzo GreppiGreppi, the visitor discovers a route organised around nine themed sectors, which clearly illustrate the changes and evolution of the perception of time throughout history. This scenography observes the evolution of the understanding of time, starting at the natural and cyclical notion of the Ancient Games, passing through the first stages of linear time and clock time, and ending at the production of highly specialised systems for measuring and recording time, thanks to the manufacture of high-precision instruments today. The information is punctuated with sociological and philosophical points of view. Quotes from athletes are presented alongside others from writers, while sporting activity, as it relates to Time, dialogues with the arts. The works on display include chronophotographic images by Marey; Pianola , a work by Mel Brimfield created in 2012 as a tribute to Roger Bannister’s record; and a metaphorical work by Michelangelo Pistoletto entitled The Etruscan on the past, present and future.

3571 Asafa Powell V
Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS 2014/A/3571 Asafa Powell v. Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO), award of 7 July 2015 Panel: The Hon. Hugh Fraser (Canada), President; Mr Jeffrey Benz, (USA); The Hon. Michael Beloff QC (United Kingdom) Athletics (sprint) Doping (oxilofrine) Distinction between answer and (cross) appeal (ultra petita) Requirements for the application of a reduced period of ineligibility for the use of a Specified Substance Source of the Prohibited Substance in the Athlete’s body No intent to enhance sport performance Assessment of the degree of fault 1. CAS rules provide strict time limits and formalities with regards to appeals with a perceptible and proper purpose of ensuring that the parties know at the earliest opportunity what issues can be raised before a CAS panel. It results from a party’s omission to file its own appeal that it cannot seek an increased sanction over and above that ordered by the first instance body having rendered the challenged decision, as an answer to an appeal is not in substance or in form the same as a (cross) appeal. A party cannot take advantage of its own procedural omission albeit unintentional, as doing so would unfairly countenance consideration of a penalty that is the product of procedural unclean hands. That would be ultra petita. 2. In order to prove his entitlement to any reduced period of ineligibility under article 10.4 of the JADCO Anti-Doping Rules which incorporates the WADA Code, an athlete must establish: 1) how the specified substance entered his body on a balance of probability; and 2) that the specified substance was not intended to enhance his sport performance.

2012 Olympics: World's Fastest Man, Usain Bolt, Utilizes Chiropractic Care
2012 Olympics: World's fastest man, Usain Bolt, utilizes chiropractic care World's fastest man, Usain Bolt, says that he is fit and ready for London's 2012 Olympics and is convinced his defense of the 100m title could trigger one of the fastest ever races in the blue riband sprint. Bolt is a Jamaican sprinter and a five-time World and three-time Olympic gold medalist. He is the world record and Olympic record holder in the 100 metres, the 200 metres and (along with his teammates) the 4×100 metres relay and the reigning Olympic champion in these three events. He is one of only seven athletes to win world championships at the youth, junior, and senior level of an athletic event. Usain Bolt regularly utilizes chiropractic care to improve his performance South Florida's Dr. Michael Douglas who is certified in Chiropractic Neurology has been the official Chiropractor of the Jamaican Olympic Team since 1996. He blends sports injury rehabilitation and traditional chiropractic care techniques and has performed these techniques on thousands of patients as well as on some of the world’s greatest Olympians such as Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell, Veronica Campbell, Shelly-Ann Fraser and more. Many, unfortunately, turn to chiropractic care only AFTER they have been injured. But, in addition to improving performance, speed and agility, ongoing chiropractic care and therapy can offer several health and wellness benefits vital to everyone: Improved Posture Increased Range of Motion Increased Flexibility Reduced Risk of Injury Reduced Migraines and Severe Headaches Improved Recovery After Sports Injuries Increased Blood Circulation and Oxygen Flow in Body Pain Reduction in Major Joints Better Focus and Concentration Reduced Stress Improved Immune System (for warding off common illnesses and diseases) Whether you are suffering from a car accident, occupational injury, sports-related trauma or everyday pain, chiropractors everywhere are ready to help you even at the 2012 Olympics.
