Powell in doubt for worlds, reveals team-mate

Jamaican Asafa Powell, the fastest man in the world this season over 100m, could be in doubt for the world championships, team-mate Michael Frater let slip on Thursday.Powell, who held the world record between June 2005-May 2008, skipped the London Diamond League meet earlier this month because of a troublesome groin injury.And the 28-year-old failed to show for a Jamaican team press conference in the South Korean city of Daegu, his place on the podium taken by the veteran Frater.I didnt come expecting to run the 100m but unfortunately Asafa couldnt make it, revealed Frater, who failed to book an individual berth for the 100m but was included in Jamaicas 4x100m relay team.Fraters teammates Yohann Blake and Nesta Carter, who will both race the 100m, then remained mum after persistent questioning over the formers gaffe.I dont think anythings been decided, Frater eventually added. Jamaican team official Grace Jackson said that no decisions had yet been taken, and defending world champion and Powells teammate Usain Bolt also said that any withdrawal was news for him.Asafas out? he asked. This is the first time Im hearing about it so I cant answer that question.The mens 100m kicks off on the opening day of the Daegu worlds, with the final being run on Sunday night.
