"He provided me a wake-up contact at the Jamaican tests. It really started out my sight. I sat down, then went to my trainer and said: 'Do I need to be worried?' He said: 'No'.
"Yohan is operating 19.4 in the 200m already, his personal-best is 19.2. He's operating 9.7 in the 100m, so in the next four decades he's going to be shooting. I think I'd like to get out beginning before he begins operating too quick."
