Nesta Carter appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport after his failed doping retest caused the Jamaican 2008 Olympic 4x100m relay team, including Usain Bolt, to be stripped of their gold medals.
Carter’s attorney confirmed a Reuters report that Carter filed an appeal with the court.
On Jan. 25, it was announced that Carter was disqualified from the Beijing Games after retests of his 2008 doping samples came back positive for the banned stimulant methylhexaneamine.
In accordance with doping rules, that meant the entire Jamaican relay team was stripped of its medals, since Carter was part of the quartet.
