Cryptic Chris Sutton has re-tweeted news of Jamaica having their 2008 Mens 4 x 100m relay from the record book.
The decision comes after a positive result was returned on a drug test on Nesta Carter that highlighted traces of the banned stimulant Methylhexanamine.
Despite ‘winning it fairly on the track’ Carter and his three clean team-mates, including Usain Bolt, have been stripped of their medals seven years after the event.

Scottish football faces a similar case in March of this year when BDO appeal the case of the illegal tax scams used by the Murray Group to attract and retain players at Rangers (IL) to the Supreme Court.
BDO has a two day hearing in which they will argue that the money paid to stars like Barry Ferguson, Stefan Klos, Neil McCann, Alex Rae and Stevie Thomson was simply loans and not related to their employment.
If the BDO appeal is thrown out it’ll leave the SFA and SPFL with a decision to make on the trophies won by Rangers from 1998 to 2011. As well as withholding details of player payments from the football authorities the Ibrox club will have been operating an illegal tax scheme not open to other clubs.
The Ibrox club have so far escaped punishment for the wee tax case when they admitted to making illegal and undeclared payments to Tore Andre Flo and Ronald de Boer for the contracts signed in 2000.
If the football authorities act in the same way as their athletics colleagues Sutton will be due SPL winners medals for 2002/03 and 2004/05 with Celtic now on course for 20-in-a-row at the end of this season- a new world record.
