Jamaican Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt has issued an apology for his comments in a German newspaper suggesting marijuana use in his country is something learned in childhood.
"I want to apologize to the Jamaican people if at anytime it may have come across that all young people roll a joint,'" Bolt said in a statement issued through his manager Norman Peart. "I would also like to urge the upcoming stars to stay away from any kind of drugs, as it is not of any value to them or the sport you participate in."
Bolt, who stormed to three gold medals in world record times at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, was quoted by the Bild tabloid as saying "When you're a child in Jamaica, you learn how to roll a joint."
We all know he's not lying, but is there really any need to announce it?
