KINGSTON (Reuters) - Jamaican Yohan Blake, the 2012 Olympic 100 and 200 metres silver medallist, is down playing the seriousness of a groin problem which ruled him out of Sunday's 100m at the Diamond League meeting in Rabat, Morocco.

"It is not an injury, I felt some discomfort in the groin area," Blake told Reuters from the North African country on Saturday.
