I am deeply disappointed not to be able to join my dear friends from the IAAF and our very best athletes at the World Championships in Beijing.
As a competitor and IAAF official I have attended every World championships since 1983.
However a serious illness to a very close family member means that, on this occasion, it is my duty is to be with my immediate family at this most difficult and stressful time. I am sure members of the Athletics Family will understand.
My heartfelt best wishes go to every athlete and official at the IAAF World Championships. You carry the future of our sport on your shoulders and I wish you all the very best of luck.
