Usain Bolt has to hand his gold medal back

According to the Daily Mail his team mate in the 2008 Beijing Games has been disqualified. Because Bolt was part of this team he now loses his gold medal.
His team-mate Nesta Carter has had a re-evaluation of a previous sample and it proved positive.
Carter was doped and has had a positive test for prohibited substance methylhexaneamine.
With Bolt being part of the Jamaican 4x100m relay team, he also loses his gold medal.
So, Bolt loses his triple-triple of Olympic gold medals.

Looks like it and they could keep testing after further developments in detection :o
