Expected/10. This is 100% just the tip of the iceberg. If you ask my opinion, most of the top level sports (the ones that require more of raw power than skill) are just a big fat lie. Even if there really was some freak of nature, the credibility of certain sports is just lost by now.

(Reuters) - U.S. 100 metres record holder Tyson Gay said on Sunday he had tested positive for a substance he could not identify and was pulling out of next month's world championships in Moscow.
Gay, the 2007 world champion who had the year's fastest 100 metres time of 9.75 seconds, said in telephone conference call he was notified by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) on Friday that his A sample from an out of competition test on May 16 had returned a positive.
"I don't have a sabotage story... I basically put my trust in someone and was let down," said Gay who insisted he had never knowingly taken a performance-enhancing drug.
"I made a mistake," said the 30-year-old sprinter from his training base in Amsterdam.
"I am pulling out of Monaco (this week's Diamond League meeting) and the world championships."
The B sample is yet to be tested, said a tearful Gay. (Editing by Alison Wildey)
