Chinese sportswear company Li-Ning has suspended its deal of Asafa Powell following the Jamaican's positive doping test.

The company Wednesday said it had suspended its deal with Powell pending the outcome of a doping investigation.

The announcement comes days after revelations that Powell and fellow Jamaican sprinter Sherone Simpson tested positive for the stimulant oxilofrone at their national championships last month.

Li-Ning started to sponsor the former world 100-meter world record holder in August 2010.
