Jamaican sprinter Nesta Carter failed a drug test in recent retesting of 2008 Olympic samples, according to multiple reports citing unnamed sources, which could ultimately impact Usain Bolt‘s Olympic medal tally.
The Jamaica Gleaner and Reuters reported Friday morning that Carter’s A sample came back positive for the banned stimulant Methylhexanamine. B sample results have yet to come in. Punishments are not determined unless B sample results confirm A sample findings.
Requests for comment from the Jamaica Olympic Association and Carter’s agent have not been returned. A high-ranking Jamaican track and field federation official said he was not aware of any official documents pertaining to Carter and would not confirm or deny the reports.
