But Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission's (JADCO) attorney, Lackston Robinson, suggested no reduction in sanctions was possible for Powell while outlining discrepancies in the athlete's statements.
Robinson outlined the inconsistencies in the invoice that Canadian trainer Chris Xuereb sent to agent Paul Doyle when he purchased the supplements; Powell's reasons for not mentioning Epiphany D1 on the doping control form and his research method.
"It goes to credibility, it does. It affects all the witnesses' credibility. There are so many discrepancies given by Mr Doyle, Mr Powell, Miss (Sherone) Simpson his witness and Mr Plummer," noted Robinson.
"When you look at this invoice, Epiphany D1 is not on it at all, so the plot thickens. We don't know what to believe, Mr Chairman," he added.
"The evidence that we have is that Mr Xuereb left Jamaica on the fifth of June, 2013, and returned on the sixth with the supplements. But if you look at the invoice it is dated June 1, 2013. It pre-dates the time the supplements were purchased," he pointed out. more
