Citing injury, Bolt withdraws from NYC event
Usain Bolt has withdrawn from the adidas Grand Prix on June 12 because of an Achilles' tendon injury.
Organizers of the IAAF Diamond League say they were notified Monday by Bolt's management team that the Olympic gold medalist and world-record holder in the 100 meters has inflammation of his tendon.
In a statement from the event organizers, Bolt said he developed stiffness last week and a doctor advised him to take a two to three week break.
The meet, at Icahn Stadium on Randalls Island, is the fifth stop on the 14-meet international Diamond League circuit.
