The sprinting superstar lost one of his 9 medals won in the last three Olympics after an International sports tribunal ruled, one of his teammates was found on dope during the 4x100 relay race in Beijing Olympics 2008.

The tribunal found, Nesta Carter, one of the teammates of Usain Bolt who ran the first leg of the relay race in Beijing Olympics, Bolt got the Baton third but went on to finish the race the earliest. He also set a world record in the process.

However, In an effort to prevent dopers from participating in other events, the IOC had dozens of athletes' samples who participated in the Beijing Olympics and Nesta's sample was one that was found to have traces of a banned stimulant.

“The rules are the rules but at the end of the day the joy of winning that relay gold Medal in Beijing 2008 with my teammates will last forever,” Bolt wrote on social media Thursday, posting a photo of himself with the other three.

After the decision was out, Bolt took to Twitter and wrote, “The rules are the rules but at the end of the day the joy of winning that relay gold Medal in Beijing 2008 with my teammates will last forever,”.
