There are not many people who would bet against Tyson Gay guaranteeing his selection for Beijing by finishing in the first three in the 100 and 200 metres at the US Trials here but the targets for the world champion go beyond just making the team.

Gay wants to help restore the image of US sprinting following the fall-out from the Balco doping scandal and he also needs to show that he is over his crushing defeat in New York last month, where Jamaica's Usain Bolt improved the world record to 9.72sec.
