Nesta carter tests positive

Experienced sprinter Nesta Carter has been identified as the Jamaican athlete, who has returned an adverse analytical finding after his retested 'A' sample from the Beijing Olympic Games showed the presence of a banned stimulant. The sprinter was also a member of gold medal — winning 4xm relay teams at the Daegu , Moscow and Beijing World Championships, as well as the Olympic Games in London.

Carter and his agent Adrian Laidlaw have not responded to questions regarding the reports, while members of his MVP Track and Field Club have also declined any knowledge of the developments. The International Olympic Committee IOC had earlier announced that it had applied improved technology to retest over samples from the Beijing Olympics, following consultations with individual international federations.

Retests were also carried out on samples from the London Olympic Games with 23 athletes returning positive results. Carter, 30, has yet to get his season underway due to a reported foot injury.
