Former world 100m record holder Asafa Powell confirmed on Sunday that he had failed a drugs test. Jamaican star Powell was the second leading sprinter on Sunday to fail a dope test following America's former world champion Tyson Gay. "I will confirm that a sample I gave at the National Trials in June has returned 'adverse findings'," said the 30-year-old Powell in a statement released on his Twitter account. "The substance oxilofrine was found, which is considered by the authorities to be a banned stimulant. "I want to be clear...that I have never knowingly or wilfully taken any supplements or substances that break any rules. "I am not now nor have I ever been a cheat." Source:AFP
