SALVO, North Carolina: World 100 metres silver medallist Tyson Gay has successfully undergone surgery on a painful groin problem that hampered him during much of the athletics season, his manager said on Saturday.
Mark Wetmore told Reuters minor surgery had taken place on both sides of Gay's groin in Philadelphia on Friday.
He said the American sprinter should be able to start light training in December after a month's rehabilitation and be fully recovered in time for next year's outdoor season.
Wetmore said negotiations for Gay's participation in the new Diamond League circuit next year were continuing. Both Gay and Bolt are likely to run a mixture of 100 and 200 metres on the world circuit.
"The idea is to have both run seven (Diamond League) meets, possibly even eight with a couple of a match-ups between the two throughout the year," Wetmore said. "And to put those match-ups on the calendar early."
