Usain Bolt Taking A Break Due To Back Injury
Usain Bolt All Of A Sudden Taking A “Rest”, Could It Be Because Tyson Gay Whooped Dat A$$ In The 100M?!?
Poor Usain. First, he gets beat by American Tyson Gay last week, and now he’s taking off for THE REST of 2010 due to a tight lower back:
Usain Bolt’s manager says the Olympic track star is taking the rest of 2010 off because of tightness in his lower back.
Manager Ricky Simms says in an e-mail Tuesday that Bolt has been examined by a doctor in Germany and the back problem “restricts his ability to generate power in his stride.” Simms says racing “in this condition could risk injury” to Bolt’s legs. Simms says an MRI exam showed that a previous Achilles’ tendon injury is healed. Bolt will have treatment to loosen his back and then rest, skipping track and field meets in Zurich and Brussels.
The announcement comes less than a week after Bolt lost to American rival Tyson Gay in the 100 meters at Stockholm. Bolt owns world records in the 100 and 200.
Hmmmm, Usain…this is sounding a little shady to us.
