Published by Sport24 on April 28, 2016

Organisers say Olympic 200-metre champion Allyson Felix has pulled out of the Diamond League meet in Doha next week because of a "minor" ankle injury she picked up in training.

Felix was to open her season by running in the 100 metres in Qatar on May 6.

In a statement released by organisers, Felix says "my coach and I feel that it is best to be fully healthy before opening up."
