The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) is likely to take a position on the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) Disciplinary Panel's recommendation that a public warning be given to Veronica Campbell-Brown for her doping offence within the next 15 days.

Campbell-Brown, a three-time Olympic gold medallist and one of Jamaica's biggest stars on the track, tested positive for the banned substance hydrochlorothiazide at the May 4 Jamaica International Invitational, and was subsequently suspended provisionally by the JAAA.

The 31-year-old was later brought before the panel, which was chaired by former Chief Justice Lensley Wolfe and also included Dr Aggrey Irons and Lincoln Eatmon.

It was that panel that recommended to the IAAF that the 16-time Olympic and World Championships medallist be given a public warning, with a release stating: "They have recommended that a reprimand without any period of ineligibility would be appropriate."

However, there is still a lot to be decided before Campbell-Brown is cleared to compete again, as the recommendation still needs to be ratified by the IAAF and even then, could be challenged by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

The Telegraph reported that an IAAF official has confirmed receiving notification of the recommendation, but that they are awaiting the full report before making a decision to ratify or reject the public warning.

"We have received notification of the recommendation but have yet to receive the full report," said an IAAF spokesman, as quoted in The Telegraph.

"This is important. We need to look at all the findings, all the details, because everything needs to be justified and the decision still has to be ratified," the official said, adding that the case will be reviewed in detail in the next "10 to 15 days," by the IAAF's Doping Review Board.

The IAAF has 45 days to appeal the JAAA's recommended public warning and after that, or after a decision has been made, WADA will then have 21 days to lodge an appeal.
