Jamaican sprint king will bring down the curtain on glorious a
career which has delivered eight Olympic gold medals when he runs his final
race at the world championships in London in August.
On the night he was named the Laureus Sportsman of the
Year in Monaco, Bolt remarked that:
“I’ve just done
everything I wanted to do in the sport,”
Bolt completed a ‘treble treble’ of 100m, 200m and 4x100m
Olympic titles at the 2016 Rio Games, but lost his 2008 relay gold last month
after team-mate Nesta Carter’s re-tested sample showed traces of a banned
substance and Jamaica were stripped of the medal.
Nesta Carter’s re-tested sample from 2008 was found to
have traces of the banned stimulant methylhexaneamine
Carter has said he will appeal to the Court of
Arbitration for Sport.
The 30-year-old Bolt fired his team of international ‘All
Stars’ to victory in the inaugural Nitro Athletics Series in Melbourne last
week.
He ran his first individual race of the year, burning
away from a modest field for an easy win in the 150m sprint.
