Quotes
- “the focus is always on the training, the physical part of it, and the mental aspect of it is (being) ignored.”
- “not because they are not physically ready, but because they are not mentally prepared.”
- “experience in track and field will also help me to drive home a point to young athletes because I have gone through it already.”

Article
Sherone Simpson (born 12 August 1984) is a retired Jamaican track and field sprint athlete. She is a gold medalist in the 4 × 100 m relay from the 2004 Olympics and silver medalist in 2005 World Championships and now is the silver medalist in the individual event at the 2008 Summer Olympics, after she tied for second with Kerron Stewart in a photo finish.
On 14 July 2013, Simpson announced that she had tested positive for the drug oxilofrine. In April 2014, the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission announced that she would be suspended for 18 months over doping charges, expiring in December that year. However, after appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the suspension was lifted on 14 July 2014.
