World 100m & 200m record holder Usain Bolt has delivered a rebuke those who questioned whether he really suffered an injury in his farewell race at the 2017 IAAF World Athletics Championships in London.

Bolt pulled up in closing stages of the anchor leg of the relay. He fell to the ground before getting back up and walking across the finish line. After the race, many of his Jamaican teammates blamed the cold weather and several delays during their warm-up before they finally took to the track.

On Thursday, Bolt took to Twitter to share a photo of his injury and addressed those who did not believe that he was injured. The tweets were deleted shortly after being posted.

“Sadly I have a tear of the proximal myotendinous junction of biceps femoris in my left hamstring with partial retraction. 3 months rehab.”

“I don’t usually release my medical report to the public but sadly I have sat and listened to people questioning if I was really injured,” he added. “I have never been one to cheat my fans in anyway & my entire desire at the championship was run one last time for my fans. Thanks for the continued support my fans and I rest, heal and move onto the next chapter of my life #Love&LoveAlone”

It had been planned for the 30-year-old sprinting great, a lifelong Manchester United fan, to play against Barcelona Legends in a charity match to raise money for the Manchester United Foundation.

However the injury and three-month lay-off means he will be forced to miss the encounter scheduled for September 2 at Old Trafford.

He had been due to play alongside the likes of Paul Scholes, Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole, Edwin van der Sar, Ronny Johnsen, Wes Brown, Denis Irwin and Phil Neville at Old Trafford on September 2.

Bolt makes no secret of his love for the Red Devils and has been spotted at Old Trafford many times since his first visit in 2009.

In December of last year when he called into an MUFC phone-in show to praise Jose Mourinho’s men.
