Bolt hits back at Gatlin

LONDON. — Usain Bolt says he was disappointed the American camp, especially with rival Justin Gatlin, for think that he would fake-out of the Jamaica Olympic Trials. Bolt withdrew from the JAAA National Trials earlier this month before the 100 metres final and applied for a medical exemption. The six-time Olympic champion immediately underwent treatment and proved his fitness with a winning performance in his first 200m outing of the season at the Anniversary Games – London Diamond League meeting – on Friday. After running 19.89 seconds to confirm his fitness ahead of the Rio Olympic Games next month, Bolt said he felt as though he was the victim of disrespectful comments from his rivals. Michael Rodgers said until someone beats him (Bolt), puts him in his place, he is going to continue to do what he wants to do. — AFP.
