Print Edition
AMERICAN sprinter Tyson Gay’s former coach has been suspended for eight years for doping violations, the United States Anti-Doping Agency said on Wednesday.
An independent arbitration panel found that Jon Drummond possessed, trafficked, and administered banned performance enhancing substances to an athlete under his care as a coach, USADA said on its website.
The former Olympic relay gold medalist and Olympic coach was Gay’s coach when the former world champion tested positive in 2013 for a banned substance, according to the arbitration panel decision.
Gay, the US record holder at 100 meters, was suspended for one year in May. He returned the silver medal he won with the US 4x100 meters relay team at the London Olympics and was disqualified from all races he contested from July 2012.
His ban was reduced as the result of testimony he provided to USADA and he has since returned to competition.
The suspension bans Drummond, 46, from coaching, training or advising athletes and participating or coaching at any event sanctioned by USA Track & Field and the International Association of Athletics Federations.
He was the US relay coach at the London Olympics.
