No, that is not a horde of angry British meet promoters and tax collectors chasing after Usain Bolt in an effort to convince him to run at the Crystal Palace Diamond League meet.
It is in fact a collection of Belgian youths chasing after him at a sprint clinic to promote the Aug. 27 Golden League Memorial Van Damme meet, which does not have any affiliation we're aware of to Jean-Claude Van Damme (though we wish it did).
And while we're nitpicking, we couldn't help but notice that Bolt - who has been advised by doctors not to run 200m turns so as not to aggravate his bothersome Achilles - is in fact cruising around a turn in the photo above.
Then again, there is something of an unspoken adage that when an unruly pack of Belgian youths is attempting to run you down so that they can brag to their friends that they beat the world's fastest man, at some point pride instinctively kicks in and you run that turn. Nothing wrong with keeping the kids in the race for a minute, but ultimately you have be sure to remind them which one of you is Usain Bolt.
