Life goes on for 'disappointed' Bolt after losing medal

Life goes on for 'disappointed' Bolt after losing medal


                                        Sprinting awesome Usain Bolt is declining to harp on the failure of losing his Beijing Olympics 4x100 meters gold decoration after his Jamaican colleague Nesta Carter tried positive for a restricted stimulant.

Jolt, who finished a wonderful 'treble' of 100m, 200m and 4x100m Olympic titles at the 2016 Rio Games, had his 2008 hand-off gold stripped a month ago after Carter's re-tried specimen demonstrated he had taken methylhexaneamine.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) requested Carter, who has as of now said he would claim the choice to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), and partners Bolt, Asafa Powell and Michael Frater to give back their decorations.

"At first (I was) baffled, obviously," Bolt told journalists at Melbourne Airport as he touched base in front of the Nitro Athletics arrangement. "Be that as it may, in life, things happen. I'm not miserable... I'm recently holding up to perceive what will happen.

"Be that as it may, I surrendered my decoration."

Powell, who served a six-month doping boycott for a positive test in 2013, was as impassive as his storied comrade.

"It's exceptionally disastrous and we need to look to the future," Powell said. "We've finished a great deal and we simply should be sure about everything at this moment.

"I'm in no position to state what ought to and ought not be (restricted). It is the thing that it is. A few things aren't reasonable."

Jolt will lead a worldwide group of "All Stars" in the Nitro Athletics arrangement in Melbourne against four different groups speaking to England, China, New Zealand and Japan.
