The Canadian sprint star suffered a grade 2 hamstring injury on Monday that will keep him out of the world track and field championships and deny him the opportunity to beat Bolt in the Jamaican star's final 100-metre race. The championships begin Friday in London.
"The entire year this 100-metre race in London was my focus," De Grasse said in a statement. "I am really in the best shape of my life and was looking forward to competing against the best in the world.
"To not have this opportunity is unimaginable to me but it is the reality I am faced with. I am sad to miss this chance but I am young and will be back and better than ever in the near future."
