• Olympic champion been out of action for two weeks
• Next race will be over 200m in Lausanne on 8 July

Usain Bolt, the triple Olympic champion, will return to full training on Monday after two weeks away from the track because of a sore achilles tendon.

A Munich doctor suggested last month that the 100 and 200 metres world record holder should rest for two to three weeks as a precautionary move after his left achilles had became inflamed.

Bolt withdrew from Saturday's New York Diamond League meeting because of the problem. His next scheduled race is over 200 metres in Lausanne on 8 July. He also had Diamond League meetings scheduled in Paris, Zurich, Brussels and one yet-to-be announced competition.

"It will be a 100 metres race and I believe Tyson [Gay] and Asafa [Powell] will probably also run the race," said Ricky Simms, Bolt's agent.
