Dear Editor,
The great man Usain Bolt's efforts to stimulate and maintain stability and morality in the track and field arena, particularly in the sprints, have not impacted certain people across the globe.
The latest comment being heard on radio uttered by the former Olympic great Carl Lewis of the United States of America about Usain Bolt not helping athletics is quite absurd.
It is no secret that Mr Lewis is envious of Bolt's huge success in the sprints. One can remember his comment before the 2012 Olympics in London, where he made swipes at Mr Bolt's performance, and even went further to say that Justin Gatlin would win the 100-metre sprint gold.
Personally, I doubt Mr Lewis's claim to fame as being without blemish when compared to Mr Bolt. No wonder he is so abhorrent in his attitude towards the great man, who has been so people-friendly as he reaches out to the world.
Mr Lewis should refrain from his behaviour pattern and accept greatness in its true nature. He should apologise to Usain Bolt and stop being envious of his achievements
