Expatriates in Nevis are very disturbed as they have been targeted for arrest of drug charges.

Both the Prime Minister of Nevis and the Foreign Minister in charge of Nevisian Affairs have refuted these claims by the expatriates of unfair charges laid on them. In Canada, great publicity is being mounted on Ben Johnson who will run his first race after he was stripped of his 100 metre Olympic gold medal.
