    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English)

    "At the end of the World Championships I felt a little tired, more than usual so I figured out that I was not in the shape that I usually am at the end of the season because... I got injured so I didn't get to prepare in the right way I wanted to so I decided - you know what? it easy just to do a 100 metres instead of 200 metres so I just decided not to."

    'Is this your last race of the season?'

    "Yes. Yes it is."

    "I think I am feeling much much better. I think my coach, through this period... we didn't try to do too much. We were just trying getting a lot of rest do less but make sure that my technique is there, make sure my speed is still up like simple things. But we haven't really pushed too much, we are really taking our time, trying to give my body a lot of time to get rest. I am definitively feeling a lot much better than in Zurich so... we will see. And now, I always seem to run faster here so will see what happens."

    "Surprisingly people are focusing on this thing and saying Jamaicans don't get tested and so on but we are on the list of IAAF top 20 so as long as you are in the top 20 in the world you get random tested so I get tested from WADA and IAAF also so even if Jamaicans got the right facilities, which they do test us, but we also get tested by different associations so I have no words because I do get tested.
