Powell injected by therapists
Kingston. — Former 100-metre world record holder Asafa Powell told a Jamaican disciplinary hearing that he received several injections from his physical therapist. The 31-year-old Jamaican sprint star said he received “four injections,” including vitamin B12, from Christopher Xuereb, who Powell had been working with for two months.
“It took me four weeks to have confidence in him,” Powell told the three-member panel.
The panel also asked if Xuereb was the first person outside of a doctor to give him injections. “Yes, he was recognised,” Powell said of Xuereb. I got the same injection once by Dr Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt.”
The German physician is known for working with Bayern Munich of the German football league and sprinter Usain Bolt. — AFP.
