This is the transcript of Usain Bolt's now infamous interview in Glasgow, which spawned the "a bit sh*t" row, according to the Times.

Angus Macleod, the newspaper's Scottish editor, said he stood by the story "100%".

The encounter was reportedly as follows:

:: Katie Gibbons (KG, Times reporter): Hi Usain, I'm Katie Gibbons, a reporter from The Times. Nice to meet you.

:: Usain Bolt (UB): Hi.

:: KG: How are you?

:: UB: (Shrugs)

:: KG: So are you enjoying the games? Are you having fun?

:: UB: No.

:: KG: Really, why not?

:: UB: I'm just not... it's a bit sh*t. (Shrugs, looks up to grey sky).

:: KG: What do you mean?

:: UB: I've only been here two days.

:: KG: Is it like the Olympics?

:: UB: Nah. Olympics were better.

:: KG: Really, how?

:: UB: (Shrugs).

:: KG: Where are you off to now?

:: UB: To do some business.
