Usain Bolt's Olympic 'triple triple' glory could be short lived as his Beijing relay medal is under threat.
According to reports, his teammate Nesta Carter, who ran the first leg for Jamaica's 4x100m team back in 2008, allegedly failed a retrospective doping test.

Carter is reported to have returned a positive 'A' sample for the banned stimulant Methylhexanamine. However, this has not been officially confirmed.
If he is found to be a drugs cheat, all four men in the team could possibly end up losing their gold medals.
Earlier this year, Bolt spoke out about the possibility of being stripped of a gold medal and admitted it would be 'heartbreaking'.
He told Jamaican radio station RJR Communications: "I'm not too pleased about the situation.

"For years you've worked hard to accumulate gold medals and you work hard to be a champion, so it's heartbreaking, but it's one of those things.
"If I have to give back my gold medal, I'll have to give it back."
They'll have to catch him first.
