Veerendra Kumar said he was cheated by a job agent who had promised him a job in Qatar but sent him to Saudi
In an interview in Thursday's Times of India, the Jamaican was confident of adding to his bulging medal collection in Rio and shrugged off the vow by one of his main rivals, the American Justin Gatlin, to win gold. Gatlin is being allowed to compete in Rio despite having served two doping bans while Bolt could also find himself up against former world champion Tyson Gay who was suspended for doping in 2013.
The decision to bar Russian athletes from the Rio games for their country's state-sponsored doping has underlined the scale of the problem facing the sport but Bolt said he believed the battle against the cheats was being won. "I believe the majority of athletes are clean and athletics is doing a good job at catching the ones who aren't," Bolt told the newspaper.
"The sport has to continue to fight the cheats."
Bolt has himself been caught up in a doping controversy recently after teammate Nesta Carter reportedly tested positive for a banned stimulant during their gold-winning relay run at the 2008 games in Beijing.
