6 year oldUsain Bolt questions why he is being drug tested as he is not yet a professional footballer
The eight-time Olympic sprint champion has been on trial with Central Coast Mariners and scored twice on his first start in a friendly on Friday.
Bolt says he has been told he is being tested as he is an "elite athlete".
The 32-year-old Jamaican retired from athletics in 2017.
"So guys I've retired from track and field looking to become a footballer but look at this," Bolt said in an Instagram post on Monday, in which he showed the drugs test notice.
The notice from Asada requesting blood and urine appears to have been issued by Football Federation Australia.
It is understood that even as a trialist, Bolt is officially registered with the club, and is therefore subject to drug testing.
Bolt's trial period with the A-League club came to an end at the weekend and the Mariners now have to decide whether to offer the Jamaican a permanent deal, a further trial period or release him.
