Farah out of Sainsbury, Lagat added
Mo Farah has withdrawn from the Sainsbury’s Anniversary Games two-mile, according to Athletics Weekly. Bernard Lagat has been added to the field.
“We are delighted that Bernard Lagat will headline the men’s two-mile race at the Sainsbury’s Anniversary Games,” said UKA chief executive Niels de Vos.
Farah was scheduled to compete in the two-mile on Sunday, but will skip the event in order to prepare for the Commonwealth Games. The 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter Olympic and World Champion scratched from the Glasgow Diamond League due to an illness, but has since recovered.
