St. Kitts & Nevis has not got off to a good start in their olympics bid as their sprinter Tameka Williams though having qualified for the 100 and 200 metres races, has been sent home by her team for a potential drug violation. The St. Kitts Olympic committee said that Williams had been using a substance, which was clearly outside the medical code and although having not yet tested positive at the Olympics it is best that she does not participate at this time.
