'Heartbroken' Bolt ready to return gold medal

World and Olympic sprint
king Usain Bolt says he is "heartbroken" but prepared
to give up his 4x100m relay gold from the 2008 Beijing
Games after team-mate Nesta Carter reportedly tested
positive for a banned stimulant.
"It's heartbreaking, 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," Bolt told local The Gleaner newspaper on
Sunday.
"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."
A retest of Carter's "A" sample from Beijing found
traces of Methylhexaneamine, the newspaper said
previously, placing one of Bolt's six gold medals in
jeopardy.
The result of retests of Carter's "B" sample is not yet
officially known.
If Carter is subjected to doping sanctions, it could
mean Bolt stands to lose his relay gold.
Carter, 30, ran the first leg for Jamaica's 4x100m relay
team in Beijing, which also included Michael Frater,
Asafa Powell and superstar Bolt.
The team took gold in what was then a new world
record of 37.10 seconds, ahead of Trinidad and
Tobago and Japan.
Bolt, who will be eyeing more Olympic glory in Rio in
August, said he had sympathy for Carter.
"It must be hard, I can't tell what he's going through
but it must be hard and frustrating," Bolt said.
