Sportswear Adidas has suspended its of U.S. sprinter Tyson Gay after the failed a drugs test. Mr Gay, 30, is the second-fastest man ever over 100 metres and the fastest man in the world this year. He tested positive for a substance in an out-of-competition test on May 16. An Adidas spokesman said: "We are shocked by these allegations. Even if we presume his innocence until otherwise, our contract with Tyson is suspended." The sportswear giant had been sponsoring Gay since 2005. It has the to terminate the contract, “if the athlete is found guilty of the or use of drugs or any other prohibited substance”.

Gay is currently waiting to hear the of his B-test, following the illegal stimulant being found in his A-test. He told reporters on Monday that he did not take part in any programme. He said: "I don't have a story. I basically put my trust in someone and was let down. I know what went on, but I can't it right now." He said he was still optimistic about the future, saying: "I hope I am able to run again, but I will take whatever I get like a man." News of Gay's positive test emerged after another sprinter, Jamaica's former 100m world record Asafa Powell, was also revealed to have failed a drugs test.".
