KINGSTON, Jamaica -- Usain Bolt's 2008 Beijing Olympic 4x100 metre relay gold medal could be in jeopardy after teammate Nesta Carter was identified as one of 32 athletes whose A sample tested positive for a banned substance, worldwide media outfits are reporting Friday morning.

OBSERVER ONLINE reported Wednesday that the A sample from an unnamed Jamaican athlete tested positive for a banned substance when retrospective drug tests from the Beijing Olympics were conducted.

The implications would be far reaching if the B sample also proved positive, the OBSERVER ONLINE report said then.

However, this morning news media across the world, including the BBC and AFP named Carter as the offending athlete.

Carter was also a member of the London Olympics 4x100 metre Jamaica relay team.

      As an athlete myself. Do you understand that many ground provisions are banned substances in sports now. Natural growing things than don't grow in Amerika nor Europe. They are the ones that vex and thieving because the Caribbean has always produced for their benefit. Now the Caribbean benifiting they trying to do to all of us what the all did to Haiti. Open your eyes and ears.
