LONDON -- Usain Bolt has backed the International Association of Athletics Federations suspension of Russias track and field athletes and declared himself fit to compete before the Rio Olympics.After the Court of Arbitration for Sport announced it had upheld the ban Thursday, the sprinter made his position clear in a media conference that covered everything from Brand Bolt to the appointment of Jose Mourinho as Manchester Uniteds new manager.Rules are rules, Bolt said. If you have the proof and you get someone, I feel you should take action.If you feel that banning the whole team is the right action then Im all for it. The doping violations in track and field are really getting bad, so if you feel like you need to make a statement, then thumbs-up.Bolt faced the media as a competitor in the Anniversary Games, a Diamond League event being held at the Olympic Stadium in London on Friday and Saturday.He will run in the 200 metres and may well feel a pang of nostalgia after his triple-gold-medal haul at the venue during the 2012 Games.Having arrived late after being drug-tested by the IAAF, Bolt was unequivocal about his fitness.Im feeling good, been training good, Im happy with where I am, the 29-year-old said. My hamstring is good, I have no issue right now. I know Im in good shape.Bolts hamstring problem had forced him to withdraw from the 100m at the Jamaican Olympic trials earlier this month.He said: When I got to the doctor, he said if I had competed [in the trials], I would probably would have torn my hamstring really badly.I made the right decision. My coach always makes sure I put my health first. But I was never really worried because my coach always figures out a way to adjust the programme.I was in pretty good shape before I had to pull out, so I wasnt really worried.It has been seven years since Bolt set the 200m world record of 19.19 seconds, and he is focused on lowering his time.Im happy that I didnt get a really bad setback this season, it was up and down, but I could always train, he said.The competition, energy, work they have to put in to win the 100m in Rio will help my 200m, and thats really my focus, trying to break the 200m world record.Im definitely a tough competitor.Bolt looks forward to re-engaging in his rivalry with Justin Gatlin.The two last raced against each other in Beijing in the 2015 world championships, when Bolt beat Gatlin in the 100m and 200m.Last year Gatlin was just not ready, it was the first time he was being chased. It was hard for him, but this year is not going to be the same, I am in much better shape, so I wont leave it to the last second.Bolts race in Fridays 200m will be his last outing before his final Olympics. He will be chasing a remarkable triple-triple of Games titles.Ill definitely be there, Im excited to go, Bolt said of his Rio aspirations. This is where history is going to be made, Im excited to put on a show for the entire world to see. This is my final Olympics, its a big one.Press Association Sport contributed to this report.

Racing Queensland has given an assurance racing will continue in its largest provincial centre after the committee of the Townsville Turf Club quit en masse.TTC Chairman Kevin OKeefe wrote to members saying the committee was not prepared to increase its borrowing from Racing Queensland and to also pay for an administrator for 12 weeks.RQs chief executive Elliott Forbes said the committee decision had been a surprise and RQ was prepared to advance the TTC a loan of$440,000Racing Queensland is working closely with Townsville Turf Club on a range of short and long term strategies to help ensure the continuity of racing in Townsville, Forbes said..Thats why Racing Queensland provided the club with $7 million in 2015 to upgrade the turf track and ancillary facilities, and has previously supplied $211,000 for financial support.He said last year the club received $652,000 in club subsidy payments from RQ and this year this was forecast to increase 14 per cent to $743,000.However, we do need to address concerns which hhave been raised by the club itself regarding its business model, he said.ddddddddddddForbes said RQ recently engaged McGrathNicol Advisory Partnership to undertake an independent business review of the club.The review assessed the clubs past financial performance, its current financial position, forecasted financial performance for the 2016/17 financial year and management of the club, he said.The report confirmed that the club had been under financial strain for a number of years. It also noted that although the club had a turnaround strategy, without continued and additional financial support from RQ, it was likely that the TTC would be unable to continue to trade as a going concern in 2016/17.Forbes said in the clubs annual report the auditor noted if RQ support was not provided there would be material uncertainty regarding the ability of the club continuing as a going concern.
