After being taken down by a cameraman following his latest gold-medal performance, Usain Bolt jokingly blamed rival Justin Gatlin for the accident, AP reported.

 

"The rumor I'm trying to start right now is that Justin Gatlin paid him off. So, that's what I'm going with," Bolt told media, with Gatlin sitting right next to him.

 

The offending cameraman hit a metal rail on the side of the track and veered right into the back of Bolt. He hit the Jamaican in the legs and both fell backward onto the track.

 

Bolt won his second gold medal of the world championships at Beijing on Thursday, taking first in the 200 meters at the Bird's Nest. Like in the 100m event, Gatlin finished second.
