American sprinter Tyson Gay has tested positive for a banned substance and has pulled out of next month’s World championships in Moscow.
Gay, who ran the fastest 100m time of the 2013 athletic season in June, said he was notified by the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) on Friday that his ‘A’ sample from an out-of-competition test in May has turned positive.
“I don’t have a sabotage story… I basically put my trust in someone and was let down,” said the 2007 100m world champion.
“I made a mistake. I am pulling out of Monaco (this week Diamond League meeting) and the World Championships.”
