Bolt Apologizes for Pot Comments PDF Print E-mail
Sunday, 12 April 2009 17:24

Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt admits he smoked ganja as a youngster, but now apologizes for saying. "When you're a child in Jamaica, you learn how to roll a joint. Everyone tried marijuana, including me."
Usain Bolt
Bolt won three gold medals last summer in Beijing, setting world records in the 100 and 200 meter races, as well as in the 400-meter relay.

"Nobody in my family or those close to me smoke and I don't hang out with people who smoke," he added in the German interview. "People can say what they want, I know I'm clean. That's the only thing that counts, not what other people say. I was subject of so many anti-doping tests during the Olympic year, between 30 and 40."

On Apr. 13, Bolt issued this statement:

"I want to apologize to the Jamaican people if at anytime it may have come across that all young people roll a joint. I would also like to urge the upcoming stars to stay away from any kind of drugs, as it is not of any value to them or the sport you participate in. Although admitting to trying marijuana as a child, [I have] never used it as a competitor."

you run so fast mr vacuum lungs eating yo mamos cooked beets from the highest hillsides which contain the natural form of dhea, a synthetic which promotes testosterone and has been the subject of scrutiny by conservatives who want to control this substance as it is in other countries under claims that it is abused as a steroid by youths. and you quit smoking is why your form is bad so you better pick it up again before you completely fall off. upright running stylee until the wheels fall off!
