Athletics: Bolt, Blake face possible early clash

KINGSTON: The trainer of Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake has raised the possibility that the two sprinters could race each other earlier than expected next year, providing an early preview of the events at the London Olympics. The pair is due to line up against each other at the Jamaican Olympic trials in June but Glen Mills said they could square off before then if the money was right.  “Track and field isn’t just a sport, it’s also a business,” said Mills. “It all depends on what meets are able to afford both runners.”
