JAMAICAN triple Olympic and world champion Usain Bolt will return to full training on Monday after two weeks away from the track because of a sore Achilles tendon, according to his agent.
"He has been training but not on the track," Ricky Simms told yesterday.
Last month, a Munich doctor suggested the 100 and 200 metres world record holder rest for two to three weeks as a precautionary move after Bolt's left Achilles became inflamed.
To stay in shape, the lanky Jamaican had been working in the pool and gym and doing other exercises while resting his Achilles tendon, Simms added.
Bolt withdrew from Saturday's New York Diamond League meeting because of the problem, but would attend the event to watch club mate Yohan Blake run in the 100 metres, Simms and Blake said.
The world's fastest man declined to be interviewed after arriving in New York on Thursday.
His next scheduled race is a 200 metres at Lausanne on July 8 and he also had Diamond League meetings scheduled in Paris (100 metres), Zurich (200), Brussels (100) and one yet-to-be announced competition, Simms said.
"It will be a 100 metres race and I believe Tyson (Gay) and Asafa (Powell) will probably also run the race," Simms said.
The world's three fastest men previously were announced as all running in Brussels.
Gay also will compete in 100 metres races in Stockholm and London with Powell joining him in Stockholm and one other meeting.
