Career
Forbes played netball with Jamaica U21 in 1998, before making her debut with the Jamaican national team the following year. As of 2010 Forbes is playing domestic netball for Waulgrovians. In volleyball, she earned a sports scholarship to Mercy College, New York in 2004.
In 2005 Forbes made her debut for the Jamaican national volleyball team, and graduated from Mercy College the following year.
In 2011, Forbes tested positive for the banned substance Clomiphene – frequently used by athletes taking steroids, but also commonly used in fertility treatments – during an out-of-competition drug test. She was subsequently banned by the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission from playing netball for three months.
The ban is scheduled to end just after the 2011 Netball World Championships in Singapore.
