THE BBC is reporting today that Britain's sports minister is offering to help Usain Bolt sort out his tax issues there.
Bolt said yesterday that he wouldn’t compete at next month's Crystal Palace Diamond League meeting because of British tax rules.
The Olympic and world champion in the 100 and 200 metres said he decided to skip the event after his agent informed him he would lose money by competing in London.
"I'm definitely not going to run (in Crystal Palace)," Bolt said yesterday.
But this morning the BBC said the sports minister was willing to look into the issue to see if he could help, citing a willingness to take the issue up with the treasury, if approached.
