William and Cislyn Powell the parents of embattled Jamaican sprinter Asafa Powell says their son would not knowingly take a banned substances

Shocked by news that a test conducted on Powell during the national trials last month showed her son had tested postive for oxillofrine, his mother Cislyn told journalists tears flowed down her face when she first heard the story.

"He tries his best not to hurt us. This is like a recitation; I always say to him (Asafa), 'Don't even trust yourself. Don't take anything from anybody. Don't eat from anyone.' I really feel it from my heart, but still I put my trust in him that he would not have done that. It must be something that went wrong," Mrs Powell said

According to Mrs Powell, during a recent visit to his parents' home on Father's Day, Asafa told her: "Mama, I wouldn't do anything like that."

"Safa is not a fool, I don't believe that he went and buy it and take it like that. Somebody must be responsible for giving him that, and the person that give him must know that it is a banned substance That person mash up Asafa future", his father William added.
