CLERMONT (USA): US Sprinter Tyson Gay has agreed to immediately repay all the prize money and appearance fees he received since he started using a banned anabolic steroid in 2012, report telegraph.co.uk. The money, understood to be close to 500 000 USD (300 000 GBP), will be returned to the promoters of five Diamond League meetings and the Jamaica Invite after the American sprinter admitted to USADA that he first used a cream containing the steroid on July 15, 2012.
(Editor’s notes: Fascinating to me. Tyson Gay admitted right away that he had violated the rules, then, turned back his Olympic medal, and now, is paying back the money he won from five DL meetings. In my world, when one takes responsibility for his or her actions, and pays back what is owed, that is what being an adult is all about. )
