The world’s fastest man is still being chased for drug tests with Usain Bolt left less than impressed after being handed a notice by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority.

On trial with A-League side Central Coast Mariners as he looks to become a professional footballer after retiring from athletics in 2017, Bolt is currently not officially tied to any club or sport.

Despite that fact, he’s still caught the attention of authorities who want to make sure the superstar isn’t taking any substances he shouldn’t be.

“So guys I’ve retired from track and field looking to become a footballer but look at this,” Bolt said via an Instagram story as he zoomed in on the notice.

“How am I going to get a drug test today? I’m not even a professional footballer yet. Seriously…

“So I asked the lady, ‘Why am I getting drug tested when I haven’t signed for a club yet?’ and she said they told her I’m an elite athlete so I have to get tested.”

While yet to earn a contract, Bolt did his chances of getting one no harm on Friday night after scoring twice in a trial match.

The Jamaican has been training in Australia since August and could be given up to a year to prove he’s capable of cutting it on the football pitch.

Though his goals certainly caught the world’s attention, his football skills still leave a lot to be desired.
