Track and Field Stars Fail Drug Tests

It was recently reported that several top track and field super stars had recently failed drug tests for banned substances. Two of the fastest men in the world in the 100m, Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell along with 4x100m relay sprinter Sherone Simpson and Women's discus thrower Allison Randall all recently failed drug tests. This is starting to sound like the cycling world all over again. Knowingly or not a professional athlete has to be extremely careful in what they take and eat. Next month's World Championships 100m and 200m events won't be the same without Gay and Powell.

World Discus Champion Darya Pishchalnikova Tests Positive for Steroids

2011 world discus champion and 2012 Olympic silver medalist Darya Pishchalnikova recently tested positive for an anabolic steroid and now faces a lifetime ban if found guilty. Already suspended once before for almost three years after Pishchalnikova and six other female Russian athletes manipulated drug samples prior to the 2008 Olympics. Currently Darya has the right to have her B sample tested and appeal the findings. The list of Olympic athletes using steroids and other banned substances continues to grow. Who will be next?
