Tom Fordyce does a blog for BBC Sports conducted this interview.
Fordyce’s interview was driven by questions he received from submitters to an earlier blog.

My question as to the management of Bolt from last week remains.
.
As to the et al, you Penn relay fans excitement is building as you get to see who will be the next Bolt. Another element of this drama will be the unspoken rivalry with the US kids.
The best American track and field athletes will work hard to surpass the Jamaican youngsters who are in high gear after the recent Boy and Girls Champs meet.

It is good to see Bolt getting some play in the media. After winning the Olympics, he seemed to have dropped off the radar and very little was heard about him here in the United States.
Since reading the “Me Thinking” blog, and watching the two utube videos from Gasby Logan and Tom Fordyce, I now see that things have turned around for Bolt.
However, the interview questions by Fordyce were very simplistic and needed some filtering beforehand. For example, what song did you listen to before running the 100 meter finals, and another question about winter training in Jamaica?
Also during the interview, Bolt credited his athletic prowess with black slavery as the reason for his athletic speed and strength.
These questions and statements give me pause to wonder whether Bolt is being managed properly. To become a successful athlete requires physical,and mental conditioning on a daily basis, not slavery work.
I don’t understand why Bolt has gotten rid of the manager who had gotten him to the point where he won the Olympics. Now his new manager has taken him to Europe where the temptation for using enhancing drugs is so pervasive and where he appears to be at the whim of every interviewer without any filtering or proper managing. Someone please help him get this together better and soon.
