Usain Bolt says claims he made disparaging remarks about the Commonwealth Games are "nonsense" and "lies".

The Times reported that he had not been complimentary about his time in Glasgow, but the Jamaican sprinter denies that.

The paper quoted him as saying that his time in Glasgow had been "a bit s***" and that the Olympic Games in London had been better.

But the 100 metre record holder rubbished those claims on Twitter:

I'm waking up to this nonsense..journalist please don't create lies to make headlines
