Rudisha out of Doha, by Alfons Juck, EME News NAIROBI (KEN): A calf muscle injury in training forced the Kenyan 800 m star and World record holder David Rudisha to withdraw from the opening leg of the IAAF Diamond League in Doha on May 9. He is so postponing his long-awaited comeback to the track. I’m very disappointed not to be able to race in Doha next Friday. I know I’ve got a lot of fans there and I’m sorry I cannot compete for them,” Rudisha said for agencies. His manager James Templeton added: “He has been training well, progressively getting fitter and stronger these last months and was excited about returning to competition in Doha. It’s been on his agenda these last months and he’s been building towards that. However he had a setback last week in training — a strained calf muscle as he was training on the track — that precluded him from competing in the AK meeting in Mumias on Friday. It’s not a major injury but he’s been sore and unfortunately doesn’t feel able to risk his comeback by racing in Doha next week,” he said. Agencies are informing.
