Usain Bolt Stripped of 2008 Gold Medal

USAIN BOLT is no longer a nine-time Olympic champion after being dramatically stripped of his 2008 gold medal for the men’s relay.

Former Jamaican teammate Nesta Carter has been found guilty of doping at the Games in Beijing, meaning Bolt now has just the eight golds to his name.

Usain Bolt has been stripped of his Olympic gold for the Men’s Relay at the 2008 Games.

The remaining members of the 2008 team, Michael Frater and Asafa Powell, have also had their medals taken away.

Jamaica’s sprinters were in thrilling form at Beijing as they set a new world record in the men’s relay with a time of 37.10.

But Carter came undone when the IOC decided to retest frozen doping samples last year using new methods.
