Bolt says ready to give medal back
KINGSTON (JAM): Usain Bolt has said he would be heartbroken if he has to return his Olympic relay gold medal from 2008 due to the doping violation of his team-mate Nesta Carter, informs Reuters. “It’s heartbreaking because over the years you’ve worked hard to accumulate gold medals and work hard to be a champion but it’s just one of those things,” he said. “Things happen in life, if it’s confirmed or whatever and I need to give back my gold medal it’s not a problem to me,” Bolt was quoted by The Gleaner as saying.
