Olympic champion sprinter Usain Bolt revealed that he ignored a sex ban imposed by his coach because he needs to “live fast”.
The 27-year-old has written in ‘Faster than Lightning: My autobiography’, which is being serialised by The Times, that he failed to listen to his coach’s advice because he needed to let off steam in between training.
Bolt wrote: “One time he even told me to avoid sex. If I had followed coach’s advice, though, I would have driven myself insane. I knew that every now and then I had to live fast.”
The 27-year-old Jamaican explains in his book how he coped with the pressure that comes from being a global brand.
“Going out occasionally, dancing and chilling with friends was a release valve from the pressures of living in the spotlight,” he said.
“It helped me to work properly on the track and nobody, nobody was going to tell me otherwise.” – Sports Mole
