Usain Bolt fumes at a drug test notice

Track legend Usain Bolt was left stunned when he learnt that he will have to appear for a drug Test despite retiring from the track field and not playing for any professional football club.

Bolt, 32, is currently on trial with Australian A-league team Central Coast Mariners and has already made his debut for the club. But is yet to receive to an official contract from the club.

The former Jamaican sprinter took to social media site Instagram on Monday to show the drug testing notice, which he has received from the Football Federation Australia (FFA).

“So guys, I’ve retired from track and field looking to become a footballer but look at this,” said Bolt, showing the notice on the video on Instagram.

“How am I going to get a drug test today? I’m not even a professional footballer yet. Seriously.

“So I asked the lady: ‘Why am I getting drug tested when I haven’t signed for a club yet?’ and she said they told her I’m an elite athlete so I have to get tested. Okay then,” he added.

An eight-time Olympic gold medallist and a world record holder in 100 and 200 meters, Bolt has already scored twice in a pre-season friendly for the Mariners.
