In a recent interview with a German Newspaper Olympic superstar Usain Bolt admitted to having smoked marijuana as a child growing up in Jamaica.
"When you're a child in Jamaica, you learn how to roll a joint," he told The Bild newspaper.
"Everyone tried marijuana, including me, but I was really young," he went on to add.
You don't say Usain. So who would have thought a young man who has a reputation for being somewhat of a party hound growing up in Jamaica would have smoked pot?
According to the Telegraph.com:
"But Bolt added that the recreational drug was no longer part of his lifestyle.
"Nobody in my family or those close to me smoke and I don't hang out with people who smoke."
The 22-year-old again rubbished suspicions of doping as he took Beijing by storm last summer.
"People can say what they want, I know I'm clean. That's the only thing that counts, not what other people say," he said.
"I was subject of so many anti-doping tests during the Olympic year, between 30 and 40."
Bolt will try to repeat his triple gold-winning performance at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin in August."
