Everybody is fine," said Peart.       Peart said a decision will be made in the next 48 hours whether to stick to Bolt's competition schedule.       Bolt has a meet on Saturday in Jamaica and is set to run a 150m street race in Manchester on 17 May.       Bolt was given the BMW by his sponsor sportswear firm Puma as a reward for his outstanding performances in Beijing. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" /></blockquote>
