Six-time Olympic gold medallist sprinter Usain Bolt believes that his American arch-rival Tyson Gay should have been given a life-time ban for doping.

Gay, who is the second fastest man in history behind Bolt, received a one year suspension after being tested positive for a banned anabolic steroid in 2013.

Although Gay's ban could have been two years, he was given a reduced suspension in exchange for cooperating with the US Anti-Doping Agency.

Ahead of his prospect of facing Gay at the world championships in Beijing, Bolt said that he was not looking forward to competing against the American.
