ITALIAN police have raided the hotel where Jamaican sprinters Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson are staying after each tested positive for banned stimulants.
Udine police captain Antonio Pisapia told AP that rooms of the athletes and physical trainer Christopher Xuereb of Canada were searched and that drugs were confiscated.
Pisapia said it was unclear if the drugs were legal or illicit and that the substances were being analysed.
Powell and Simpson tested positive for the stimulant oxilofrine at the Jamaican championships last month, their agent announced on Sunday.
Pisapia said no arrests were made in the raid early on Monday morning at the Fra i Pini hotel in Lignano Sabbiadoro in northeastern Italy, and that nobody was under investigation.
Jamaican athletes have trained in Lignano for years.
In another development, Adidas has suspended its sponsorship of Tyson Gay after the American sprinter returned a positive doping test.
After being told a banned substance was detected in an out-of-competition test in May, Gay pulled out of the upcoming world championships.
In a statement, Adidas said ''we are shocked by these recent allegations and, even if we presume his innocence until proven otherwise, our contract with Tyson is currently suspended''.
The sportswear giant had backed Gay since 2005, and said such sponsorships were terminated ''if the athlete is found guilty of the possession, or use of drugs, or any other prohibited substance by the relevant governing sports body having jurisdiction over the athlete''.
Gay has said he will have his B sample tested soon, possibly as early as this week.
