Tyson Gay: Won gold in the 100m at the 2007 World Championships
American 100m record holder Tyson Gay has failed a drug test.
The sprinter's A sample from an out-of-competition test in May returned a positive result for a substance he did not identify.
And Gay has now withdrawn from the forthcoming World Championships pending the result of his B sample.
The 30-year-old, the fastest man over 100m this year, said he was told of the positive test on Friday by the United States Anti-Doping Agency.
And he will not now have the chance to regain the world title he won six years ago in Osaka.
