Nesta Carter is disqualified from the 4x100 relay that won gold in Beijing after his sample tested positive for the banned substance methylhexaneamine, the IOC announced Wednesday.
The IOC has retested hundreds of samples stored from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics after Russia was found to have run a state-sponsored doping system.
Carter, 31, ran in the prelims and the final in Beijing.
