ASAFA Powell pulled out of the Jamaican 4x100-meter relay team yesterday because he has not sufficiently recovered from a groin injury.
Powell's agent, Paul Doyle, said it would be too much of a risk for the team if Powell were to pull up lame during the event in which Jamaica is a favorite for gold. The heats are today and the final is tomorrow. "He would need to take a few more days to fully recover," Doyle said.
Powell had been running fast all through the season until he pulled out of the Crystal Palace Diamond League meet on August 5 as a precaution to protect his groin. It didn't heal in time for last Sunday's 100, which was won by teammate Yohan Blake.
