Powell on course

FORMER 100-meter world record holder Asafa Powell has returned home to Jamaica and should be ready for the country's world championships trials after a weekend scare, his manager said on Tuesday. Powell pulled up lame after just 20 meters of a 100-meter race in Rabat, Morocco, on Sunday after feeling a cramp in his right lower hamstring.

But his manager Paul Doyle said it was just a precaution and he planned to run in the Jamaican trials in Kingston from June 23-26. Powell must finish in the top three to make the Jamaican team for the world championships in Daegu, South Korea, in August.
