Bolt ready to return gold medal

AFP

AFP, KINGSTON (JAMAICA): World and Olympic sprint king Usain Bolt says he is “heartbroken” but prepared to give up his 4x100m relay gold from the 2008 Beijing Games after team-mate Nesta Carter reportedly tested positive for a banned stimulant.
“It’s heartbreaking, for years you’ve worked hard to accumulate gold medals and you work hard to be a champion, so it’s heartbreaking but it’s one of those things,” Bolt told local The Gleaner newspaper on Sunday.
“Things happen in life, if it’s confirmed or whatever and I need to give back my gold medal, it’s not a problem to me.”
A retest of Carter’s “A” sample from Beijing found traces of Methylhexaneamine, the newspaper said previously, placing one of Bolt’s six gold medals in jeopardy.
