USAIN BOLT STRIPPED OFF OF TITLE!

Usain Bolt has been stripped of one of his nine Olympic gold medals in a doping case involving teammate Nesta Carter, who tested positive on a re-analysis of doping samples. The IOC says Carter tested positive for methylhexaneamine, a banned stimulant, in re-analysis of samples from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Carter and Bolt were teammates on the winning 4×100-meter relay team. The IOC says Carter tested positive for methylhexaneamine, a banned stimulant, in re-analysis of samples from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Carter and Bolt were team-mates on the winning 4x100m relay team. Jamaica’s disqualification means Bolt no longer holds his famed ‘triple-triple’ — winning gold in the three sprint events at three consecutive Olympic Games. The IOC says “the Jamaican team is disqualified,” and “the corresponding medals, medalist pins and diplomas are withdrawn and shall be returned.” Carter ran the first leg for Jamaica’s 4x100m team when Bolt anchored them to a gold medal inside Beijing’s Bird’s Nest stadium at the Olympic Games where he announced himself as a sprinting superstar. With Carter, 31, confirmed as a drugs cheat, all four men in the team lose their gold medal although there is no suggestion the others have done anything wrong. Speaking last year, Bolt said the possibility of losing his medal was ‘heartbreaking’. “I’m not too pleased about the situation,” Bolt said. “For years you’ve worked hard to accumulate gold medals and you work hard to be a champion, so it’s heartbreaking, but it’s one of those things. “If I have to give back my gold medal, I’ll have to give it back.”
