Usain Bolt happy to hand back gold medal

I was appalled that Hird et al could put them in that position in the first place.

Say that again.....

Was the medal hand-back literal, or metaphoric?

Bolt marched right in to Thomas Bach's office in Switzerland and slapped the medal down on his desk.

IOC are considering fining him for chipping the mahogany desktop.

Literal

Jamaica's relay team from Beijing of Bolt, the disgraced Carter, Asafa Powell, Michael Frater and Dwight Thomas have all handed their medals back to the Jamaica Olympic Association.

Have to agree. This thread is about Bolt not Essendon. Fairly sure there are a million threads we can rail against the EFC.

On Bolt and the Jamaicans, it wont be the first Gold given back over the next 10 years. Unless Pat McQuaid gets a seat on the IOC Board

Does anyone really think Bolt is clean though?

Bolt was doing incredible things as a junior. Ess improved out of nowhere until their Hammies gave way

As there are more locks on this board than on ...thought i put this here

Bolt has handed back his gold medal with dignity showing great respect to the sport.
There was no whoa is me, as it was not about him but the sport.
A great sportsmen and statesman whose respect form the public will not have been diminished at all.

He might be a great sportsman but he lost a ton of respect from me for some of his antics right after the last olympics
