A Jamaica international footballer has been provisionally suspended for 30 days by Fifa for a positive drugs test.

The player failed the test following a World Cup qualifier on 11 June, and a team official has also been suspended.

Fifa has given the player and official until 12 August to request a hearing, and they must submit a statement with supporting evidence seven days later.

Football's world governing body will name the duo if it is determined an anti-doping violation has occurred.

It is a further blow to sport in Jamaica after sprinters Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson tested positive for the banned stimulant oxilofrine last month.
