Sport has been put on hold due to the crisis, with the Tokyo 2020 Olympics moved back to 2021.
“[Usain] Bolt was subjected to the exact same stringent testing measures by WADA, IOC and JADO as other international athletes.
TODAY marks the 50th anniversary of a most significant date in our history, the TT Revolution of 1970, also called the Black Power Revolution.

For many Caribbean islands where tourism is the primary revenue earner, the coronavirus-sparked ban on large gatherings as well as airline and cruise travel has brought widespread postponements and cancellations to the region's spring/summer music festival season.
