( CNN ) -- Veronica Campbell-Brown has been cleared to return to competition by officials in her native Jamaica despite the three-time Olympic sprint gold medalist having tested positive for a banned substance earlier this year . However , one of Jamaica 's most decorated athletes must now wait to see if the IAAF , track and field 's world governing body , agrees with the recommendation made by the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association ( JAAA ) . If it does , it would provide welcome relief for Jamaica 's sprinting community -- Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson admitted to testing positive for banned substances in July . Garth Gayle , general secretary of the JAAA , confirmed to CNN Thursday that it recommended Campbell-Brown receive a warning following her positive test for a banned diuretic in May . She was provisionally suspended . Gayle did n't reveal further details but the Jamaican Gleaner newspaper reported that the JAAA 's disciplinary panel ruled the 31-year-old did n't use the substance to enhance performance . The IAAF 's doping review board is expected to make a decision in the case in two or three weeks , an IAAF spokesman told CNN . Campbell-Brown , Powell -- the former world-record holder in the 100 meters -- and Simpson all missed August 's world championships in Moscow , where fellow Jamaican Usain Bolt once again dominated the men 's sprint events . Bolt , consistently under the spotlight , has never tested positive . `` I do n't believe the majority of athletes enter the sport to cheat , '' said Gayle . While not necessarily performance enhancing , diuretics can be used as a masking agent for steroids .
