Yohann Diniz will not participate in the Beijing World Athletics Championships (August 22 to 30) due to persistent pain in the inguinal ligament (pubic area).
The triple champion of the 50km Europe will even undergo surgery July 23 to maintain its chances to participate in Olympic Games in Rio in 2016.
"It's a real tear unable to participate in these World Championships . However, I opted for wisdom in making every effort to prepare the best conditions for my major event, the Olympics in Rio.
I wish good luck to my friends in the France team. I will be their biggest fan" he said in a statement.
