[div class="except"]Usain Bolt loses one Olympic gold medal as Nesta Carter tests positive

25 January 2017 Athletics

Usain Bolt will have to hand back one of his nine Olympic gold medals after Jamaican team-mate Nesta Carter tested positive for a banned substance.

Carter was part of the Jamaican quartet that won the 4x100m in Beijing in 2008.

His was one of 454 selected doping samples retested by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) last year, and has been found to contain the banned stimulant methylhexaneamine.

Bolt, 30, completed an unprecedented 'triple triple' in Rio last summer.

The triple triple happened and everyone will remember him as the best sprinter ever. This is a shame, though, as he isn't the one implicated.
