For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I saw the news about Tyson Gay -- the way he was talking about it earlier, he seems to have some idea that there is more to the case than that he was cheating. But Powell too? That's just sad. Two of the best sprinters in the world. We're running out of people who are clean, now. That's such a shame.
I can almost understand Gay as the pressures to compete with Bolt were immense but to resort to this is unforgivable. He genuinely believed he could beat Bolt but he failed to realise that the only reason he is the 2nd fastest man in history is because Bolt dragged him to that time.
Powell is the surprise for me.
I honestly don't see why they bother as the loss of earnings and respect as a result of what will almost certainly be a 2 year minimum ban does not make it worth it.
Gatlin is a drugs cheat and has never been properly accepted back.

Sherone Simpson is the 3rd sprinter who has also failed a drug test.
The most plausible form of defence to blame A.N.Other but at the end of the day the responsibility falls on their shoulders.
I would also add that I don't think that the sport is riddled with cheats just a few bad apples who will get get found out. The system is clearly working.
