Usain Bolt: Tyson Gay 'Probably Hates My Guts'

Can this relationship be saved? Will Jerry Seinfeld pull sprinters Usain Bolt and Tyson Gay in for a special episode of The Marriage Ref? It's worth the wonder after Bolt, the 2008 Olympic champion in the 100 and 200 meters, declared that Gay "probably just hates my guts."

In an interview with BBC radio Wednesday, Bolt, who beat Gay in world record time in both races in Beijing, as well as a year later in Berlin at the world championships, also in world record time, while running a leg of the 4x100 meter relay for Jamaica, also for a world record, said he believes Gay is tired of losing to him.

"I think Tyson sits at home and cusses me," Bolt said in the radio interview. "He just really gets upset because every time he runs fast, I run faster than he does. At the world championship, he ran 9.71 and that's the fastest a U.S. athlete has ever run and he was still cussing. So deep down I think he probably just hates my guts."

It's worth noting that Gay broke Bolt's two-year winning streak in individual races last month in Stockholm, though Bolt shrugged that off.

"It's no stress," Bolt said of the loss to Gay. "This year is not a championship year, this is my year off I would say, so it is no problem. I am always ready, prepared and on top of my game [at the championships]."

And who says diva behavior is restricted to wide receivers?
