Usain Bolt has been stripped of one of his nine Olympic gold medals in a doping case involving teammate Nesta Carter.

The International Olympic Committee says Carter tested positive for a banned substance in re‑analysis of samples from the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Carter and Bolt were teammates on the winning 4 x 100‑metre relay team.

The International Olympic Commitee says the Jamaican team is disqualified and the corresponding medals are withdrawn and shall be returned.
