LONDON — The entire United States men’s sprint relay team was stripped of its silver medal from the 2012 London Olympics on Wednesday as a result of Tyson Gay’s doping case.
The International Olympic Committee notified the United States Olympic Committee by letter that the 4x100 relay team has been disqualified and all the medals withdrawn. The letter asks the national committee to collect the medals and return them to the I.O.C.
“As expected, following Usada’s decision in the Tyson Gay case, the I.O.C. today confirmed that the U.S. team has been disqualified from the 4x100-meter race that was part of the athletics competition at the London 2012 Olympic Games,” Patrick Sandusky, a spokesman for the national committee, said in a statement.
