Tyson Gay tests positive

The American record-holder has told news agencies he was notified by the US Anti-Doping Agency on Friday that a sample came back positive from an out-of-competition drugs test on May 16. Gay (30) says he will have his “B” sample tested to verify the findings, but has already admitted his guilt.

Speaking from Amsterdam, the sprinter told AP: “I don’t have a sabotage story . . . I basically put my trust in someone and was let down.”
The positive test will send shock waves around the world of track and field, given Gay has run the three quickest 100m times of 2013 and was expected to be a genuine challenger to Usain Bolt in Moscow. A statement from USA Track & Field read: “USA Track & Field is strongly opposed to doping, and we respect the work that USADA has done as a leading agency globally in the fight against drugs in sport. — Mailonline.
