**NEWS BULLETIN – Tyson Gay quotes on his injury – US Track & Field – NEWS

Global Athletics & Marketing at 3 p.m. issued the following statement from Tyson Gay, who at 2:10 p.m. was back at his hotel being treated with ice and compression:

    "Before I went out on the track I felt a little tightness in my hamstring. So I had kind of a bad feeling. When I came off the curve the first two steps were fine, and then I felt it, sort of a pull, about 40 meters in. Once I was on the ground it didn't hurt as much as when it happened."

    On how he feels about what happened: "It's just one of those things."

    On what he will do next: "I'll just get it worked on for a few days."
