Athletics: Gemili forced to pull out of relay race due to injury

Adam Gemili has been forced to pull out of the Great Britain team for the World Championships in Beijing on medical advice.

The 21-year-old was due to compete in the 4x100 metres relay, having not raced since suffering a hamstring tear after running 9.97 seconds at the Birmingham Grand Prix in early June.

Gemili has been training at the team’s holding camp in Fukuoka, Japan, but it has now been decided that competing in China would be too great a gamble.

British Athletics performance director Neil Black said: “While Adam has suffered no adverse effects from training following his previous injury, competing is too big a risk based on the latest medical feedback.”
