Usain Bolt is no longer the first ever triple triple winner of sprinting gold medals.
Bolt is a phenomenon of sprinting and won the 100m, 200m and 4x100m triple golds in the last three Olympics, in Beijing in 2008, London 2012 and Rio last summer.
Now though the Jamaican has seen his gold from the 4x100m in Beijing taken off him. That's because teammate Nesta Carter has been found guilty of taking a performance enhancing drug.
The Jamaican's are no longer the Olympic champions from 2008 and Trinidad and Tobago will now get the gold medals.
Carter was first found to have been tested positive for banned stimulant Methylhexaneamine back in June. The test came from Carter's A sample back in 2008 but the International Olympics Committee were retesting frozen samples from both the Beijing and London Olympics ahead of last year's event.
Bolt, Asafa Powell and Michael Frater, the other members of the team are cleared of any doping allegations.
