Tyson Gay beats Usain Bolt in the 100m in Stockholm
Olympic and world sprint champion Usain Bolt has ruled out competing for the rest of 2010 with a back injury.
The Jamaican suffered only his second professional 100m defeat on Friday when he was easily beaten by Tyson Gay at Stockholm's Diamond League meeting.
Manager Ricky Simms said Bolt had been examined by a doctor in Germany and the back problem "restricts his ability to generate power in his stride".
Bolt will miss the remaining Diamond League meets in Zurich and Brussels.
The world record holder in the 100m and 200m, along with American Gay and Asafa Powell - the three world's fastest 100m runners in history - had been scheduled to face each other at the year's final Diamond League meet in Brussels on 27 August.
