Jamaica’s double Olympic sprint silver medallist Yohan Blake has been ruled out for the rest of the 2014 season after undergoing surgery on an injured hamstring.
The 24-year-old sustained the injury in the 100 metres at the Glasgow Grand Prix on July 11.
‘Right now he’s on crutches, he had to have an operation a couple of days ago,’ coach Mills said on Tuesday.
‘The injury was quite severe and the original prognosis was misdiagnosed.
‘He went to Germany and when they had a good look, they realised that it was more serious and required surgery, so he’ll be out for quite a long time.’
