Pee In This Container

 Those people are running too fast, there must be some type performance enhancing substance inside their bloody blood, and so they come after our boys and girls with vials, test tubes and needles because we are black and Caribbean and must be kept in our place. I am leaving all the technical analysis to the professionals. I am leaving them to say which of the banned chemical components turning up in our athletes' blood can also be found in the yam, dumpling, potato, pumpkin, goat water, mannish water and sea moss that our athletes consume when they come home.
 It is only when these things happen that we understand how vulnerable we are. It is no longer just that we  are all equally vulnerable to tsunami, earthquakes, hurricanes and joblessness; we are now also learning that our pee shows us having jet propulsion fluid derived from chemicals found in banned substances which might also be in the food our highly athletic boys and girls consume.
The thing is that although we produce many great doctors and scientists, we are not able to demand a presence when the pee ( yes, I said pee) of our athletes is being stirred around in test tubes. Not one of our scientists seems able to say, yes that chemical is banned, but we can't remove it from the yam otherwise it cannot be called yam any more, and yes, that other chemical is banned too, but it is in our sweet potato, and if you ban it the potato will not be sweet any longer.
I swear the  next thing they are going to do is test the lungs of Caribbean athletes for evidence of having breather clean Caribbean air and ban them from competing because of it.
