Sunday brought some more unfortunate news for Tyson Gay and his fans. It's been revealed that he's been tested positive for a banned substance. As a result, he'll be pulling out of next month's World Championship in Moscow. Gay said he'll take whatever punishment comes:
It's unfortunate because many were waiting on a Usain Bolt/Gay showdown at the sprints at the World Championships. It's also the latest set back for the American sprinter, who had to battle groin and hamstring problems and a hip surgery to get back to this point.
Gay won the 100 and 200-meter dash at the nationals last month. He's also the American 100-meter record holder (9.69).
