"Even men in prison get their wives to visit."

St Kitts and Nevis sprinter Kim Collins was less than impressed after dramatically dropping being booted out of the Olympics after falling out with his team for visiting his wife.

Collins said he was given permission to see her for a night, but team officials said they had not heard from him for three days. They then rather harshly cancelled his accreditation for the London 2012 Games.

Collins, World 100m sprint champion in 2003, commented: "This is how it ends. It ends on a really sad note. I should have been allowed to run."
