Failed a doping test and has pulled out of the World Championships next month.

Seems a lot of cheating still goes on these days in athletics.

"I don't have a sabotage story... I basically put my trust in someone and was let down," said Gay, 30.

"I made a mistake. I am pulling out of Monaco (this week's Diamond League meeting) and the World Championships."

A lot goes on behind the scenes for sure. 'Hey Tyson take this because if you do you'll win and I'll get more money myself...'

Hard to trust anyone in the sport of Athletics...

This is no real surprise is it? Another USATF athlete failing a drug test. Too bad there isn't anything that can be done about Carl Lewis...

It's odd (although not really as I've done a lot of research about it) how US sport is so bent, but they just don't care.

Thanks Fruity.

If they unwittingly took substances that were banned, they are guilty of being incredibly stupid.

Some fellow athletes have made it very clear that they take full responsibility of what they take in the way of supplements and so on.

Some Americans are on the list as well, it seems.

It was only a matter of time.

The authorities have been after the Jamaican sprinter for a while.
The Americans are too insular to consistently perform on the international stage.

Once again it's a shame The Lance Armstrong compendium couldn't continue on the big board.
It's all documented and all in there.

Has it been ruled out as a returning thread, stat?
Not conclusively.

When I asked it was at the height of googlegate and I think the last post had arse or something written in it.
Hence setting up part deux.

I'm pretty sure it's fine, it's just in the graveyard.

The second half of this thread moves away from cycling to other sports.

I reckon you could collate that lot and all it's associated links and have an easy dissertation st the end of it.

I watched the documentaries 9.79 and Bigger, Stronger, Faster earlier this week on You Tube. Made for some interesting viewing on this subject. As Dr NBC mentioned earlier, it's amazing how Lewis(amongst others) can live with himself.
