The world's fastest man alive Usain Bolt is no longer a nine-time Olympic gold medalist.
The International Olympic Committee has stripped the Jamaican sprinter of the 4 x 100m gold he won at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing after his teammate Nesta Carter was found guilty of doping offences.
Carter, who helped the 4x100 team to win Olympic and world championship titles, returned a doping violation for the banned stimulant methylhexanamine in a retest of 454 samples from the Beijing Games.
Bolt, Carter and other teammates from 2008, have now been ordered by the IOC to return their gold medals.
