Tameka Williams is a sprinter from St Kitts and Nevis. In 2012, she was banned from the Olympic Games for doping offenses. She was set to compete in the Women's 100m and the Women's 200m. Williams admitted to having injected "Blast Off Red", a performance-enhancing drug used on race animals. She has denied taking any illegal substances, what she injected was not listed under the World Anti-Doping Agency banned substances; however the material falls by being under the category of veterinary medicine on the prohibited list.
