Mario Balotelli and Usain Bolt are feuding and it was actually the Jamaican who started it. Bolt is in Rome for the latest round of the IAAF Diamond League meeting which takes place today. He was asked by Italian television station TG1 for his opinions on controversy's Mario 'why always me?' Balotelli. His response was cold to say the least.
"Balotelli is a great football player, although perhaps a little too aggressive for my tastes" said Bolt. "He never misses a penalty. I’ve met him a couple of times and to be honest I don’t like him very much.”
Mario, never one to let sleeping dogs lie, took to Twitter to announce his anger with the world's fastest man.

Watch this space.
Well we watched this space and things happened in it. Usain Bolt tweeted back at Mario.
In Bolt's defence, TG1 have absolutely no story on their website suggesting Bolt ever said anything about Balotelli. You'd think if they had actually gotten those quotes, it would be big news. Somebody is lying somewhere.
