Usain Bolt dismisses British newspaper comments as ‘nonsense’

UsainBolt-1GLASGOW, Scotland (CMC) – A row has broken out in Glasgow over comments a newspaper claimed were made by Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt to describe the Commonwealth Games currently underway here.

The Times reporter, Katie Gibbons, claims Bolt told her that he thought “the Olympics were better”, that he was “not really” having fun in Glasgow and felt the Games were “a bit shit”.

However the 27-year-old sprinter has dismissed reports of his comments as ‘nonsense’.

“I’m waking up to this nonsense,” Bolt tweeted.

“Journalist please don’t create lies to make headlines”.
