“If it’s not conducive to me propelling myself forward and staying focused and doing what I know I’m capable of doing, what's the point?
“So, I leave that to the other guys. But I think everyone has a healthy level of respect for everyone because of what it takes to get to the line, especially at a high level.”
Meanwhile, the American will be opening his season at the Millrose Games and he will be competing in the 60m.
