Sports Rivalry: Usain Bolt accuses Glatin of disrespecting him

London: Reigniting his rivalry with fellow sprinter Justin Gatlin, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt has accused the former for disrespecting him.

Just two weeks before the 2016 Rio Olympics, American sprinter Glatin has claimed that Bolt has received medical exemption to miss the Jamaican trial.

"For me I felt it was a joke, I felt it was a disrespect they think I'd back out of a trials," Bolt said.

Gatlin, 34, who took silver behind Bolt at last year's world championships in the 100m and 200m, has been one of Bolt's most consistent rivals in recent past.
