Athletics - Reports: Gay tested positive for steroid The BBC is reporting that Tyson Gay’s positive doping test was for a banned anabolic steroid. US sprinter Gay, who is the joint second-fastest 100m runner of all time behind Usain Bolt, withdrew from the World Championships in Moscow after being notified of a positive doping control at the national trials, before failing a second out-of-competition test in May. The substance involved was not disclosed, although Gay accepted responsibility for the test, saying a member of his backroom staff had let him down and that he would fully co-operate with authorities. The BBC claims to have seen a letter from the US anti-doping authority (USADA), which said: "Using the Carbon Isotope Ratio Analysis it reported that the sample had an adverse analytical finding reflecting values that are consistent with the administration of a steroid of exogenous nature."
