Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell: Olympic sprinters fail drug tests

US sprinter Tyson Gay and Jamaica's former 100m world record holder Asafa Powell have failed drug tests.

Gay, 30, the joint-second fastest man over 100m, was notified by the US Anti-Doping Agency on Friday that his A sample from an out-of-competition test in May had returned a positive. Powell tested positive for a banned stimulant while competing in June's Jamaican championships.

Fellow Jamaican athlete Sherone Simpson also failed a drug test at the event. The sprinter, a 4x100m relay silver medallist at last year's London Olympics, tested positive for oxilofrine - the same stimulant Powell tested positive for.

Powell and Simpson's doping positives come a month after Jamaican Olympic champion Veronica Campbell-Brown tested positive for a banned diuretic.

Yes, Wiggins would be an awesome catch. Hated his moody persona at the Sports Personality Awards - he just comes across as rude and bitter.

They should have given it to Ennis and that cracking ass of hers.

Bradley Wiggins is an annoying wee fudd with those silly sideburns and skinny limbs. Love it if he got caught. Typical English low testosterone fellow.

Sir Chris Hoy on the other hand is a real man just like Andy Murray.  Both Scots of course.

I think 2014 may be to early but in 2018 or better 2022 we're going to have some genetically engineered freaks.

You have to respect his response:

"I know exactly what went on, but I can't discuss it right now."

Interesting to listen to Denise Lewis on talksport,its as though the interviewers and her know something more.She was asked the question (when talking about Gay and Powell),"do you think we might hear something about even bigger names in sprinting".And theres only 1 bigger name than those two.

The 30-year-old Gay has been part of USADA's "My Victory. ... I compete clean." program, where his statement on the USADA website read: "I compete clean because I really believe in fairness, and besides that, my Mom would kill me! Just being honest. My mother and my sister have been great role models for me."

His mom must be so happy with this liar today... so must the USADA for full on promoting him like this

Track experts say fight against doping can't be won

Doug Logan, the former CEO of USA Track and Field, said sports organizations should give up the fight against performance enhancing drugs. "We will continue to have sad days like today over and over again. Unless we rethink this," Logan told USA TODAY Sports on Sunday.

Factually is very easy, athlete will get "Biological passport" at the 1st competition,after this any biological
changes will be so easy to detect.
Australia is introducing "passport" for all Olympics sports.

Almost all the experts have said the bio passport has been a massive failure. It didn't work as expected. It's almost useless. If the bio passport really worked then testing for compounds wouldn't be necessary, right?

New era my friend, this is not "Tour de France" type passport, new dope & new testing technology.
Usually those who promote "juice business" would allways tell: don't worry it's undetectable substance ?.

Just try simple Genetic sports test & you'll see results.

Cologne Sports University will be analyzing samples in Rio 2016, skeptics can go there & collect gold
if so easy to bypass testing.

So the bane of doping is no more? Every champion will be clean from 2016 on?

but they cannot to this day find hgh, or is there news.?



They have been able to do it for a couple of years now. Pretty short detection window though.

Australia, will be introducing  "Statutory Declaration" signing for all Olympians
if is anyone busted in Rio 2016 could end up behind bars  :P

But again, if no one is busted  Rio 2016 would be boooring  Olympiad ;D

I'll try to talk with WADA prez John Fahey about BB related things.

I was hoping for serious battle between American and Jamaican sprinters in the world championships in Moscow next month but looks like Bolt is the only one of superstars still on starting list  ;D
