ATHLETICS: Former 100m world record holder Asafa Powell has accused British sprinters of underperforming because they are lazy.
The Jamaican said: “I’ve said over the years that British sprinters are very lazy and don’t really want to practise. Maybe it’s comfort. In Jamaica, you have to work harder for what you want.”
