US sprinter Gay's ex-coach cops ban

The former coach of US sprinter Tyson Gay has been banned for eight years over drug-related offences.

Jon Drummond, former coach of US sprinter Tyson Gay, has been banned for eight years after arbitrators ruled he possessed, trafficked and administered banned drugs to an athlete he coached.

The US Anti-Doping Agency announced the ban on Wednesday, saying the start was backdated to December 7.

The ban prohibits the 46-year-old former sprinter from coaching, training or advising athletes and participating or coaching at any event sanctioned by USA Track and Field or the sport's global governing body the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).
