So because he was injured last year (which required surgery by the way) means he can't be injured this year? Really? Bolt will be be in Beijing win, lose or draw. He's not going to let his fans down by being a no show. You do realize that Bolt is born with Scoliosis right? So an injury located at the intersection of the spine & the pelvic joint actually makes sense no? Just saying.
Your argument makes no sense, he's just done that for Paris and Lausanne, for a "pain in the leg", not exactly a very acute injury that he didn't seem to be aware of a few days ago when he bailed on the Jamaican trials...so how could it have hampered his training since his last competition (per the PR) which was weeks ago in Ostrava ?
Obviously they're spinning this the best they can to avoid a defeat/10"+ time in Paris and Lausanne to keep the fanboys hoping. Barring a miracle his level won't have improved for Beijing and he'll be DNS again.
