Another prominent athlete has tested positive for banned substances. Tyson Gay of the USA admitted his positive test on Sunday July 14. Gay pulled out of the Track and Field World Championships next month in Moscow, Russia.
Gay has admitted responsibility in what goes in his body and makes no excuses for the failed out of competition doping test. Gay's "B' sample will be tested this week.
Gay has run the three fastest 100m times in the world this year.
Gay faces a possible suspension of up to two years from the sport.
Also Jamaican track star Asafa Powell also tested positive for Oxilophrine which is a banned substance. He was tested during the Jamaican track and field championships held in early June.
Both Gay and Powell said they would not knowingly take any substances that are banned.
I'm now wondering who's next to fail a doping test.
In more positive news the head of the USOC, Larry Probst has been nominated for IOC membership.
Update on Tyson Gay: Gay will return in early July 2014 from a one year ban.
