1. A. Tyson Gay, American sprinting champion, tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs recently. In response to the accusations, he replied: “I don’t have a sabotage story.

I basically put my trust in someone, and I was let down.”

2. D. Upon announcing his retirement, Post Falls Mayor Clay Larkin said: “When I retire in January, I will have held a city office for 18 years. I feel good about stepping down and letting someone else lead our city.”

4. B. After hearing “multiple complaints from constituents,” the Spokane city councilman thinks espresso stands that feature scantily clad baristas should be subject to additional regulations.
