The prospects of Usain Bolt successively defending his title at the World Championship in Beijing, took a major blow as the World and Olympic champion today pulled out of the Diamond League meetings in Paris and Lausanne because of an injury. This is coming days after he withdrew from the Jamaican trial held at the weekend.

Bolt, whom many people would pay a premium to watch race, was initially slated to compete in these meets on July 4th and 9th respectively, but he has informed the organisers that he cannot be available due to injury.
