Despite Jamaica's attempts to stall, the World Anti-Doping Agency could visit as early as next week for an audit.
WADA previously sought an audit of Jamaica’s anti-doping agency after it was revealed they only conducted one out-of-competition test in the five months before the London Olympics.
Jamaica previously delayed the audit, prompting WADA to hint at a possible Olympic ban. WADA can declare a country "non-compliant," which would lead to a ban on the country’s athletes from the Olympics.
"I don't think it's a possibility at all," said Dr. Warren Blake, president of the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association, reported by The Guardian.
"What would London have been without Jamaica? What would 2012 have been without our athletes? It's not going to happen."
According to the Guardian, WADA would not confirm nor deny the potential visit.
