Tyson Gay has tested positive for a banned substance and has said he'll pull out of next month's world championships in Moscow.
Gay told the Associated Press he was notified by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency of the positive test late last week.
He wouldn't reveal the substance but said the positive test came from a May 16 out-of-competition test, the AP reported.
"I don't have a sabotage story. I don't have any lies. I don't have anything to say to make this seem like it was a mistake or it was on USADA's hands, someone playing games," said Gay, who fought back sobs as he spoke to the AP. "I don't have any of those stories. I basically put my trust in someone and I was let down."
He did not disclose to whom he was referring when he said he was let down.
He would not go into specifics of the case when asked by the AP whether he tested positive for a steroid.
"I have to go over everything with USADA first," he said. "I will take whatever punishment I get like a man. I do realize and respect what I put in my body and it is my responsibility.
"I'm going to be honest with USADA, about everything, everybody I've been with, every supplement I've ever taken, every company I've ever dealt with, everything."
