Jamaica's Campbell hit by injury
Posted Wednesday, 14 June, 2006
Olympic 200m champion Veronica Campbell could miss the bulk of the season after suffering a torn muscle in her thigh.
Campbell, who also won world 100m silver last year, was injured on Sunday at the British Grand Prix in Gateshead.
Campbell's manager Claude Bryan said: "The initial ultra-sound scan revealed a tear, and it will be approximately eight weeks to full recovery."
That would mean the earliest Campbell could return would be for the Golden League meet in Zurich on 18 August.
Campbell, 24, suffered the injury coming into the home stretch of the 200m.
She fell to the ground and was later taken off the track in pain.
