Usain Bolt angry with drugs test

Usain Bolt, who is waiting to be offered a contract by Central Coast Mariners, could not believe he was summoned for a drugs test.

The former sprinting star took to Instagram on Monday to show a testing notice he received, apparently from Football Federation Australia (FFA).

‘So guys, I’ve retired from track and field looking to become a footballer but look at this,’ said Bolt, before showing the letter on the video.

‘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.’

Bolt is on trial with A-League side Central Coast Mariners, who are yet to offer him a contract.

The 32-year-old, who holds eight Olympic gold medals and the world records in the 100m and 200m, scored twice in a pre-season friendly last Friday.
