The story originates from a website called News360-tv.com.
It claims Bolt "presented a receipt of bank transaction" to British sprinter CJ Ujah after the Diamond League meeting in Monaco on 21 July. The receipt is "to be presented to authorities in London ahead of the IAAF Championship".
However, no other media outlets outside of News360-tv.com reported on such big news.
Moreover, the website was registered on 1 April 2017 according to whois.net:
Later on, a representative for Usain Bolt told Storyful the story was "fake news".
However, that didn't stop many people from sharing it on Twitter:
