Usain Bolt: smoking the competition on the track and in your mom's basement.

LOLz!

It's true — Usain has had a strain of weed named after him!

California weed shops (the ones that are still open) are now selling a strain of weed named after the fastest man on the planet.

Apparently it's named after him because it's so "fast-hitting." Clever.

We wonder if he'll ever try it!

It's less about what they're doing on the track, and more about getting TO the track, when we say that Usain Bolt is fed up with Olympic rules.

Mainly, the security lines!

There's no skipping the huge lines, even if you ARE the fastest man on the planet!

Here's what he said they did to him right before he had to run:

Orly?

Puma SE recently reported their second quarter net profits are down $34.3 million, or 29.2%, which isn't that surprising since first quarter profits were already down 12.8%, but they swear they knew this would happen.

Umm. So why not prevent it!?

The company blames the tough European market, and says decreased net profits are expected. However, Puma promises they will finish the year with

Jamaica's Olympians will be Jammin' in some fancy uniforms next month courtesy of Cedella Marley.

Bob Marley’s oldest daughter teamed up with PUMA to design the kits, which she says was a thrill:

“It is truly an honor to design this collection for my home country and my home team. It’s not even a dream come true because it’s something I never dreamed would be possible… To have a role in creating the outfits for our Olympians is a thrill. I admire what PUMA has been doing in Jamaica over the years and the Marley family has the same type of give-back philosophy. I think this partnership is going to be legendary.”

Fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt added:

"I can’t think of a better person to design our Olympic outfits than Cedella. PUMA got that right… hooking up with a legendary Jamaican. She’s a great designer but also carries on the spirit of our nation through the legacy of the Marley family. It’s going to be inspirational to run in London with that energy surrounding me.”

Cedella joins other designers like Ralph Lauren, Prada, Stella McCartney and Armani who have designed for the U.S., English and Italian teams.

You can see the entire Jamaican team wearing Cedella’s designs at the 2012 London Olympics, and preview some of them (below).

Oh no!

We recently mentioned that Usain Bolt ran a woman over — literally though, like, she got in his way while he was running on a track.

This was a real accident, involving actual cars.

He was in Kingston, Jamaica and was going home at 5am, after a night out with friends when the accident occurred.

There were no injuries in the crash and Bolt is fine and resting at home.

Good thing he's okay, because the London summer games are getting reallllll close.

Feel better Usain, and remember, eyes on the road!
