He Is An Inspiration To Millions of People, Including Business People & Here’s Why. He Is An Exceptional Human Being Who Gives Hope To Others. How? The Unprecedented Triple Triple. Most Probably Never Ever To Be Repeated By Another Human Being For Generations.
If Indeed Ever. He Won The Olympic Gold Medal In Beijing 2008 In The 100 Metres, 200 Metres and 4×4 100 Relay. He Did The Same In The London Olympics, Including As Part of “Super Saturday” In 2008 & He Repeated It All Again In Rio, To Score A Personal Hatrick. So He Has Won 9 Consecutive Olympic Medals In Total. He Wanted To Be A Legend At What He Does. And He Is. Having Worked Beyond Hard To Achieve That. As One of His Many Legendary Quotes Reflects, Where He Says “I Did Not Dream of Success, I Worked For It”.
In 2018 The International Olympic Committee (The IOC) Disqualified The Jamaican Team’s Relay Result From 2008 After Samples From The Team That Year Were Re-analysised & Found To Contain A Prohibited Substance In Nesta Carter’ s Sample.
As Carter Pointed Out In A Statement At The Time That Substance Was Not Banned At The Time & Is Was Only Afterwards Recognized As Having Been A Contaminate In Many Products, Which CAS (The Court of Arbitration In Sport) Accepts.
I Have Always Been A Clean Athelete And Would Not Do Anything Knowingly To to risk my reputation or the reputation of my country, or that would cause pain to Usain, Asafa, Michael and the Jamaican people,” Carter said in a statement.
However The Decision Stood With The IOC Saying: “Methylhexaneamine fell within the scope of the general prohibition of stimulants having a similar chemical structure or similar biological effect as the listed stimulants. Under the then applicable system, stimulants which were not expressly listed, were presumed to be Non-Specified Prohibited Substances.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (“CAS”) has confirmed that the presence or use of substances falling within the scope of generic definitions of the Prohibited List, can be used as a basis of establishing anti-doping rules violations.”
Ever Positive Usain Announced His Support For Nesta By Posting A Picture of All Four of His Team Mates With The Gold Saying: “The Rules Are The Rules But At The End of The Day The Joy of Winning That Relay Gold Medal In Beijing In 2008 With My Team Mates Will Last Forever”. In Doing So, on Top of All His Other Qualities Usain Demonstrated Loyalty. Nesta Had Been By His Side On The Relay Team At The World Championships In 2011, 2013 & 2015. Usain’s Show of Loyalty Says A lot About His Strength of Character, Something He Will No Doubt Pass onto His Daughter.
It Was At The World Athletics Championships In 2009 That Usain Gave One of This Most Awesome Performances. He Set A World Record By Running 100 Metres In 9 Minutes 58 Seconds. Over 10 Years Later That Record Has Never Been Beaten. And Is Unlikely To Ever Be Beaten. Bolt Also Set A World Record At The Same Championships For 19:19 Seconds In The 200 Metres. He Was Subsequently Signed Up For An Endorsement Deal By Richard Branson’s Virgin Media Internet Service Which Emphasized How Fast It Was. The Ad Campaign Was Very Entertaining, Popular & Successful.
