![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
The Jamaican sprinter who set the 100m world record at the Beijing Olympics suffered mild injuries today after crashing his BMW on a highway in his homeland.
Usain Bolt -- who ran the 100m dash in a mind-blowing 9.69 seconds last year -- and a female passenger were taken to a hospital in the Saint Catherine Parish after Bolt lost control of his car while (get this) he was allegedly speeding on a rain-slicked highway.
Officials say Bolt -- who's due to compete in a 150m race in England in a few weeks -- is undergoing tests to see if he'll be healthy enough to compete.

Seems kind of suspicious when news reports yesterday have an unnamed Olympic track & field gold medalist coming back with positive banned substance results based on new tests of Olympic samples. Coincidence?

They have already released the names of all 6 people who tested positive and he wasn't one. And yes there were 7 positive retests, but 2 were for the same person.

BOLT is the fastest man alive and all you ppl hoping for a positive drug test it aint gonna happen ok. He is ok and all of us in Jamaica as well as the caribbean and am sure persons elsewhere are very happy that it was a minor accident

Seriously, who really cares about this guy... does anyone even know who he is.? Also the injuries you said are "MILD" so why is this even an issue-I really doubt anyone has heard of this person... I am amazed at the crap TMZ posts on their "slow days"

WHO CARES... he is not in critical condition, no one died so who cares. If you choose to drive fast on a dangerous road let alone a wet road you must deal with the outcome... but really... who cares,,,?????

This accident is eerily reminicent of the one suffered by Jamaican-Canadian Donovan Bailey (World's Fastest Man) one year after winning Olympic gold in the 100m and 4x100m at Atlanta in 1996. When his Mercedes hit some black ice in Toronto it skidded into a concrete pole, flipped over and caught on fire yet he walked away from it without serious injury.
