26 April 2011 Bujumbura — Desperate and displaced, some Burundian women will do anything, including have unprotected sex for money, to escape the dreadful living conditions in the Bujumbura suburb of Sabe, where more than 480 families of internally displaced persons (IDPs) have lived for several years.

Usain Bolt believes he is good enough to play for Manchester United when he retires from athletics.

The world record holder for both 100 and 200 metres, Bolt electrified a worldwide audience at the 2008 Beijing Olympics when he burst onto the scene and he is confident he can electrify Old Trafford in the same manner.

“I really want to try soccer after I retire because I’ve watched football over the years and I think I could be a good contender,” Bolt told the BBC.

“I’m really looking forward to it and yes, I definitely think I’m good enough to play for Manchester United.

“I’m good enough because I’m quick, I have a little skill – I have to refine it a little bit but I should be good enough.”

The 9.58 second 100 metre man met the United squad at their training ground back in 2009 and offered sprinting tips to then-Red Devil star Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Jamaican star would certainly add a turn-of-foot to Sir Alex Ferguson’s front-line, but for now his focus is on a 200 metre offering at Thursday’s Diamond League meeting in Oslo.
