Injured at exactly the same time again in 2016.
Always in a WC or OG year.
He should hit the beach and rest up during this dangerous time of the season for him.

Berian could have been pole axed by Nike if they wanted to,
Nike let off the throttle.
Berian defeated nobody.
They let off the gas because they were going to lose and wanted to spin the PR (I.e. That self-serving statement about wanting him to focus on running at this important time, remember Nike filed the suit and sought the preliminary injunction "at this important time").

He can still be selected after passing a physical.
Does he not have automatic qualification from the IOC as defending Olympic champion?

I know everyone likes to say this means he goes to this doctor for dope, but look at it from the other angle.
He gets injured, he goes to his world class sports doctor, he gets better.
Not that amazing.

Passport wrote:The problem with most conspiracy theories is the total lack of logic and common sense. Bolt could have flown back and forth to Germany countless times before this and would you have known? Why would he, or anyone, need to declare an injury before being sold a flight to Germany? You do know a person can travel to Germany without a doctor's note, right?
Yes, an american can go to Germany without a doctor's note. But a Jamaican?
He needs a visa. And the visa needs to state the purpose of the visit. Without a doctor's note? "Oh, hi, I'm just here to see the remnants of the Berlin wall."
Are you being serious? You believe you need a doctor's note for a visa? That's ridiculous. Guess what, a lot of tourists visit Germany and they don't go to see the Berlin Wall. I've been to Germany a lot, but never Berlin. I've also been to a numver of countries that required me to get a Visa, and I've never seen a spot on the application for "doctor's note". Also, Bolt travels all over the world and I doubt he worries about the travel details personally.
I'm not commenting on the doping accusations, I'm just saying that he can travel to Germany without a doctor's note, whether or not he wishes to see the remains of the Berlin Wall.

It's even less amazing than that, the full story is:
- He's the multi defending oly champion in his last Olympics with huge pressure to finish on top...
- In an Olympic year so...
- He trains extra hard right up to the most competitive sprint trials in the world and...wait for it...
"He gets injured, he goes to his world class sports doctor, he gets better. "
How many thousands of times has some variation of the above happened?
Wohlfahrt treats hamstring tears with an injection of goat's blood (I'm not joking, look it up!).
Serious question - would WADA consider this a 'blood transfusion'?

Reminds me of the Jamaica Invitational about 3 years ago, when Jamaican athletes were bailing like flies after they heard that the IAAF, not Jamaica, would be responsible for drug testing at the meet.
Can someone Name this meet and the Drop outs please, who we are meant to be Suspicious of needs to be out there.
I read somewhere that it is a grade 1 hamstring tear. I don't know if that source was reliable but that is most likely what it was.
Grade 1 hamstring tears can be tricky - because they can turn into a very nagging long term problem.
Usually you can heal from those in 1-3 weeks. With an elite "doctor" among who knows who else in tow, not only will Bolt recover, he'll run at least 9.7x in the Rio final. Just watch. We've seen this dog and pony show too many times before. It's a joke.

Nike tried to "pole axe" him and failed. They dismissed before any Nike people could be deposed.

Bolt is in Germany to get treatment.
What special treatment is available there, which is not available in Jamaica, the US or anywhere else in the world?
