The statement from Mills read: “Arising from Usain's participation at the National Trials in Kingston this past weekend where he had a slight problem, after careful assessment, I have had to withdraw him from the Samsung Diamond League Meeting in Monaco on July 20 to give him sufficient time for treatment and time to train and prepare for the Olympic Games in London."
Meanwhile, there was a quote from the athlete as well:

"I am happy to have earned my spot on the Jamaican Olympic team despite the challenge. I will be in London to defend my titles in the 100, 200 and 4 X 100 metres. I want to congratulate my fellow Racers Track Club members along with the other athletes who made the team. I thank everyone for their support."
