[size=150]US stripped of London 2012 Olympic relay medals[/size]

The entire United States 4x100m relay team have been stripped of their London 2012 Olympic silver medals as a consequence of Tyson Gay's drugs ban.
Former 100m and 200m world champion Gay was suspended for a year after testing positive for a banned anabolic steroid.
The 32-year-old returned his London 2012 medal when his suspension was announced in May 2014.
Now the International Olympic Committee has told US Olympic bosses that the whole team must return their medals.
The IOC wrote to the US Olympic Committee on Wednesday, telling them to collect the medals from Trell Kimmons, Justin Gatlin, Ryan Bailey, Jeffery Demps and Darvis Patton.
"We will begin efforts to have the medals returned, and support all measures to protect clean athletes," said a US Olympic Committee statement.
Kimmons and Bailey ran with Gay in the final, as did Gatlin, who has served two doping bans, including a four-year suspension between 2006-2010.
Gay's results from 15 July 2012 - the date he first used a product containing a banned substance - were annulled.
His one-year suspension was backdated to 23 June 2013, the date he tested positive at the US World Championship trials.
The American team finished second in London's Olympic Stadium behind Jamaica, who were anchored by Usain Bolt on their way to a new world record.
Gay and his team-mates set a new US record with their time of 37.04 seconds.
If the medals are reallocated, Trinidad and Tobago - who finished third in 38.12 seconds - would be awarded silver. Fourth-placed France would take the bronze instead.

They don't always bump up the others. Kinna like how Lance Armstrongs tour de France titles are left blank as opposed to giving the 2nd placed persons them.

[cornfused]

Good news , " not an achievement UML"

The IOC is as serious a sporting organisation as they come,. If you remember Canada had placed third in the race but instant replays shows that they crossed a running lane on the 3rd to 4th hand over .

The Tour de France as prestigious as it is in not an IOC event . It is the pinnacle of UCI road events but the administration is handled by the Amaury Sport Organisation.

The IOC still does not always reallocate medals no matter how prestigious the organization is -
Womens 100m from Sydney as it is now has no Gold Medal winner

Trinidad and Tobago stands to benefit from an upgrade from Silver to Gold for the 4x100 relay from the Beijing Olympics. Nesta Carter from Jamaica had a sample from that Olympics test positive.

Usain Bolt could lose one of the three golds he won at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Reuters report that the 'A' sample of one of his team-mates in the 4x100m, Nesta Carter, was found to contain the banned substance Methylhexanamine.............

Doubtful.....

Under new rules, the IOC can hold the bottles for up to 10 years, and can thaw the urine for a retest any time during that window.

The limit was recently raised from eight years, which gives scientists more time to identify new drugs, then develop new tests to identify them. Also, scientists can develop more sensitive tests for metabolites -- residue -- of known drugs that are found in urine. And, if a test for a certain drug wasn't completed at the Olympics, it can be done in a retest years later.
