Once a saint, always a saint. However, there have been a number of saints who have been dropped from the calendar of saints - St. Christopher, Saint Valentine of Rome, Saint Ursula, Saint Philomena are examples. They may have existed but virtually nothing is know about them or even if they ever existed. Usually, their cult (following) is allowed and their feast days can still be celebrated in particular parishes. There are others who have even had their cults suppressed, such as Saint Barbara and Saint Olivia. While they may have existed, all that is known about them is based on legend and myth. Some were actually never actual people but were simply characters in pious tales that were circulating in the early days of the Church.If a person was officially canonized, that very act is considered infallible and irrevocable. None of those removed from the calendar of saints were ever officially canonized.

King St. Louis IX
He has not been stripped of any medals in which he won individually. He has, however, been stripped of his 1999 world and 2000 olympic gold medal because on Antonio Pettigrew taking performance enhancing drugs. Alongside that Jerome Young was also taking performance enhancing drugs. But that 100% messed up. Your whole team suffers (Marion Jones is another example alongside Pettigrew). You could probably put Angelo Taylor in place of Pettigrew and the U.S. would still win.
No. Nor will he ever be.
