Usain Bolt in Australia on promotional tour

Usain Bolt has arrived in Sydney on a promotional visit on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the 2000 Olympics.

The world record holder in both the 100- and 200-meters will participate in a coaching clinic with the fastest football players in Australia today.

He hopes to run in a relay in an exhibition event at Sydney’s Olympic Park, but is not expected to be part of the official Sydney 2000 anniversary celebrations.

Bolt cut his competitive season short due to back injuries and has spent recent weeks promoting his book. He expects to resume training in Jamaica on Oct. 4 to build up for next year’s world championships at Daegu, South Korea.

Injury-scam physical therapist loses license

LONDON

A former Harlequins physical therapist who admitted to five instances of faking blood injuries in rugby matches has been stripped of his license.

The Health Professions Council told Steph Brennan that “by reason of your misconduct, your fitness to practice is impaired.”

Brennan was involved in the staging of Harlequins winger Tom Williams’ blood injury during the Heineken Cup quarterfinal against Leinster in April 2009. That allowed a specialist kicker to come on to the field for Harlequins, which ended up losing 6-5.

Brennan is serving a two-year ban from rugby. He had been in private practice this year.
