KINGSTON (Reuters) - Embattled Jamaican sprinter Nesta Carter will return to the track this weekend in his first meeting since he was stripped of his Beijing Olympics gold medal after a retroactive test uncovered a banned substance in his sample. Last year in Rio, Bolt completed a 'treble treble' of Olympic gold medals in winning the 100, 200 and 4x100 titles at three successive Games. Carter has said he would appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Carter has not been banned by world governing body the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and correspondence between Jamaican athletics authorities and the IAAF seen by Reuters confirmed he would be clear to run until his appeal had been heard. Carter has until Feb. 15 to file his appeal with CAS.
