Bobby-Gaye Wilkins
Bobby-Gaye Wilkins (born 10 September 1988) is a Jamaican athlete who represented Jamaica at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, winning a bronze medal in the 4×400 metres relay.
Her first major international appearance came at the 2005 World Youth Championships in Athletics, where she reached the final of the 400 metres.
She was selected as a reserve for the relay at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics, but she did not compete. She reached the semi-finals of the 400:m at the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships, but enjoyed greater success in the women's relay: along with Clora Williams, Davita Prendergast and Novlene Williams-Mills, she won the bronze medal in a Jamaican indoor record of 3:28.49 (also a Central American and Caribbean record).
However, she failed her drug test at the compe*ion, and the Jamaican team was disqualified. Her sample contained andarine (a selective androgen receptor modulator), making her the second international runner to test positive for the cl* of anabolic drugs, after Thomas Goller. She received a two-year ban from compe*ive athletics for the infraction.
