Usain Bolt Issues Public Apology
World triple sprint record holder, Usain Bolt, is rushing to clarify statements attributed to him by a popular German magazine.
The Jamaican sprint sensation caused some eyebrows to be raised after the article claimed the track star made comments about Jamaican children using marijuana.
According to the article the athlete said “…When you’re a child in Jamaica you learn how to roll a joint…”
In a release issued Monday, Bolt moved swiftly to deny making any such comments, admittedly he confessed to smoking marijuana as a child but never made a statement describing drug use among children in Jamaica .
Bolt said he would like to publicly apologise to the Jamaican people if at anytime it came across as if he was suggesting youngsters in Jamaica “…roll joints.”.
German tabloid BILD reported Sunday that the Jamaican sprint phenomenon also confessed to using marijuana as a recreational drug during his formative years, but said he has not touched it since.
The Olympic triple gold medalist and record holder’s interview with the German tabloid which was done at Boys and Girls Champs recently has received significant traction throughout the world.
In another article published on Saturday in the New York Times, Bolt was quoted as saying that eight (8) time Olympic gold Medalist Michael Phelps who was photographed with a bong was stupid and also that his competitor Asafa Powell tended to “…freak out.” at the big moments.
