Less than 72 hours after he won triple gold medals at the just ended Rio 2016 Olympics in Brazil, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt has landed himself in controversy.
The world fastest runner marked his 30th birthday on Sunday.
However, photos emerged on Sunday night showing Bolt in bed with a 20-year-old Brazilian student after a wild birthday party celebrations.
According to Mirror UK, the pictures were shared on messaging service Whatsapp by Jady Duarte and have been circulated widely online.
In the photos, the Jamaican runner appeared bare-chested lying on his back with his arm around the woman.
In another photo Bolt appears to be lying topless on top of the student snuggling up to her neck while she uses her free hand to take a selfie of the pair together from behind him.
Bolt appears to give Duarte a kiss on the cheek while she stares into the camera.
Below are some of the photos:
It was learnt by a local news outlet that Miss Duarte hadn’t realised that Bolt was a famous athlete.
“I just sent it to the group of my girlfriends girls, now you see,” it reported she said.
“I just sent and said ‘who saw the Olympics will know who is’.”
Meanwhile, Bolt was also pictured dancing with another girl into the early hours at a Brazilian local club.
It was only recently that Bolt’s sister revealed that the sprinter has a long term girlfriend Kasi Bennett, 26.
Duarte has however apologized to Kasi on the matter, saying nothing happened between her and Bolt.
“I’m sorry for everything what happened, I didn’t want to share those picture but my friends did it. Nothing special happens between @usainbolt and me,” she wrote on Kasi’s Instagram page.
Bolt completed a triple triple at the Games – winning the 100 meters, the 200 meters and the 4×100-metre relay as he did at Beijing 2008 and London 2012.
