Bolt Loses 2008 Relay Gold Medal After Carter Disqualification

imageedit_17_9645912475
Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt has seen his unprecedented 'triple triple' of Olympic Gold Medals ended, after 2008 relay teammate Nesta Carter was retrospectively disqualified after testing positive for a banned substance.
Carter was one of 454 athletes tested by the International Olympic Committee last year, and tested positive for a banned stimulant.
Bolt, who holds World Record times in 100m, 200m, and the 4x100m relay, completed a 'triple triple' of Gold Medals in Rio 2016, after performing similar feats in Beijing and London.
The Jamaican team, who won the 2008 event in question in a World Record time, will see their Gold Medal pass to Trinidad and Tobago
