Daily Mail has reported that three security guards have been fired for taking photos with Usain Bolt while he was training.
The guards, who are employed by Sword Security, were reportedly on duty at the Lesser Hampden training ground in Glasgow on Wednesday, when they approached Bolt and asked to take photos. He reportedly obliged.
The Daily Mail said a supervisor, who asked the guards to put their phones away while the star athlete trained, fired them.
A statement by the company confirmed the guards in question had been removed from their roles at the Commonwealth Games for breaching their conditions of employment, but were still employed at the firm.
Officials are now said to have told staff at the games to be professional and not approach athletes for photos.
An official from the Commonwealth Games is reported to have said, “When Bolt is in house, people are reminded he’s here to compete not to pose for personal photos. People are reminded to concentrate on their jobs and the job at hand.”
