Usain Bolt backs IAAF Russia ban; declares himself ready for Gatlin

Usain Bolt has backed the IAAF's suspension of Russia's track and field athletes and declared himself fit to compete before the Rio Olympics. After the Court of Arbitration for Sport announced it had upheld the ban on Thursday, the sprinter made his position clear in a media conference that covered everything from Brand Bolt to the appointment of Jose Mourinho as Manchester United's new manager. The doping violations in track and field are really getting bad so if you feel like you need to make a statement then thumbs up." Bolt faced the media as a competitor in the Anniversary Games, a Diamond League event being held at the Olympic Stadium in London on Friday and Saturday.
