Tyson Gay is facing a lengthy ban after it was confirmed that his B-sample had tested positive for a banned substance.
The 2007 world 100m and 200m champion was recently suspended after failing an out-of-competition test and immediately withdrew from next month's World Championships in Moscow.
The news came as quite a shock to all those involved in athletics and was further compounded when rival Asafa Powell also returned a positive test.
It is has now been confirmed that Gay's B-sample also contained the same banned substance and he now faces a ban of up to two years.
"We can confirm that the B sample analysis of a sample collected from Mr Gay has been completed, and that the B sample analysis has confirmed the A sample findings," USADA chief executive officer Travis Tygart said in a statement. "An additional sample collected from Mr Gay has also returned an adverse A sample finding.
"We appreciate Mr Gay voluntarily removing himself from competition prior to the World Championships while we evaluate the circumstances surrounding his adverse analytical findings and work towards achieving a fair resolution of his case in accordance with the rules."
