AN ugly war of words has broken out between sprinting’s two greatest names, after Usain Bolt lashed nine-time Olympic gold medallist Carl Lewis for suggesting his performances were helped by drugs.
Bolt launched an astonishing tirade against Lewis after his 200m final win over teammate Yohan Blake, saying he had lost all respect for Lewis.
American great Lewis, who won five sprint gold medals and four long jump golds, had inferred the drug link when he said ”time will tell” when asked to assess Bolt’s times.
Bolt had already declared his times were not drug-assisted when he was asked to compare himself to Olympic great Lewis.
”Carl Lewis, I have no respect for him,” Bolt said.
”The things he says about track athletes are very downgrading for us. I think he is looking for attention because no one talks about him. I think it was really sad when I heard the other day what he was saying. For me, I have lost all respect for him, all respect.
