The world and Olympic 100m and 200m champion was due to run in Shanghai on September 20 and in Daegu five days later.

But Bolt will now end his season after running the 200m at this weekend's World Athletics Final in Greece.

"I have been suffering from fatigue," said Bolt.

"After careful discussions with my coach and management team, even with medical advice, we felt it necessary to close the season.

"The risk of injury becomes greater as the season goes on and if I compete in the shape I am in, I may be at great risk."
