Sportswear Adidas has suspended sponsoring U.S. Tyson Gay after he failed a drugs test. Mr Gay, 30, is the second-fastest man ever to run 100 metres, and the fastest time this year. He tested positive for a banned substance in May. An Adidas spokesman said the were shocking. He said: "Even if we his innocence until proven otherwise, our with Tyson is suspended." It has the right to end the contract an athlete is of using or having drugs or other substances. Adidas has sponsored Gay since 2005.

Gay is currently waiting to the results of his B-test, after the illegal drug was found in his A-test. He told reporters that he did not take part in any programme. He said: "I don't have a story. I basically put my in someone and was let down. I know exactly what went on, but I can't discuss it right now." He said he was still and hoped to run again. He added that he would "take whatever I get like a man." News of Gay's test came after Jamaica's Asafa Powell, a 100m world record , also failed a drugs test.
