The members of the U.S. Men's 4x100 Metres Relay Team that won silver
at the 2012 Olympics have been stripped of their medals following the
doping conviction of sprinter Tyson Gay, the United States Olympic
Committee (USOC) said on Wednesday May 13,2015
Silver
medalists (R-L) Trell Kimmons, Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Ryan Bailey
of the U.S. pose after receiving their medals for the men's 4x100m relay
Trell Kimmons, Justin Gatlin and Ryan Bailey as well as Jeffery
Demps and Darvis Patton, who ran a preliminary heat, will lose their
medals after Tyson Gay was banned last year following a positive test for an
anabolic steroid.
"As expected, following USADA's decision in the Tyson Gay case,
the IOC today confirmed that the U.S. team has been disqualified from
the 4x100-metres race that was part of the athletics competition at the
London 2012 Olympic Games," USOC spokesman Patrick Sandusky said
