Athletics: Bolt ruled out of Commonwealth Games

USAIN Bolt's coach has confirmed that the double Olympic and world sprint champion will not be competing at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi in October.

The Jamaican, who also missed the 2006 Commonwealth Games through injury, will be absent from this year's event to enable him to continue his build-up for the London 2012 Olympics.

Glen Mills said: "Bolt made it known long ago that he is not going to the Commonwealth Games."

The world's fastest man at 100 and 200 metres will also miss out on next weekend's Jamaica National Championships.
