Usain Bolt: 'No hard feelings' after losing Olympic gold

Usain Bolt may have lost one of his Olympic gold medals after compatriot Nesta Carter tested positive for a banned substance -- but the Jamaican says he has "no hard feelings" towards his sprint relay teammate.

Carter, 31, has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport against the decision to strip him and the Jamaican team of their 2008 Olympic 4x100 meter relay gold and is awaiting a hearing.

But, as it stands, Bolt can no longer claim to have completed the 'triple triple' of nine successive Olympic gold sprint medals.

Olympic great Bolt, an athlete who once said returning one of his gold medals would be "heartbreaking," is philosophical about the matter.

Admitting he has yet to speak to Carter, the 30-year-old Bolt -- the 100m and 200m world record holder -- said: "It's just one of those things that happens in life.

 

"Until I see him I can't really say he did it on purpose or it was a mistake or I should be angry. Until I actually sit down and look at him face-to-face and talk to him, (I) don't know how I'm going to react."
