A former 100m world champion will not compete in the event at the London Olympics after being caught visiting his wife in a hotel outside the Olympic Village.

St. Kitts & Nevis sprinter Kim Collins—who carried the flag in the opening ceremony— complained on Twitter, stating "Even men in prison get their wives to visit." The Washington Post says Collins has missed camp the last several days.


It would have been Collins's fifth Olympics.
