Bolt turns in medal, says 'rules are rules'


27 January 2017, 22:42


Jamaican sprint superstar Usain Bolt insisted on Thursday that the loss of one of his nine Olympic gold medals because of the doping sanction of relay teammate Nesta Carter won't tarnish his legacy.

"I am disappointed based on losing a medal, but it won't take away from what I have done throughout my career, because I have won my individual events and that's the key thing," Bolt said while attending the opening of a high school gym in Santa Cruz, Jamaica.

Bolt said he had already handed back the 4x100m relay gold from the 2008 Beijing Games, which the International Olympic Committee officially withdrew from Jamaica this week because of Carter's postive drug test.

From his very first interview after the story broke about Nesta's failed drug test, I always thought that Sir Bolt was a little too nonchalant and selfish about the whole thing. The Jamaican news media also sat back and everyone seemed to abandon Nesta. Now they're talking about taking the case to the CAS. When VCB had her run-ins, she dealt with it swiftly and everybody rallied around her.
