Kenya's Paul Tergat has withdrawn from the Flora London Marathon.
“I am really disappointed,” said Tergat. “But I wouldn’t compete in London unless I am 100 per cent. It has always been my aim to win London. It will just have to wait for another year. “
Tergat suffered a calf strain in his right leg in training and is currently receiving treatment in Italy.
The World Marathon record holder made his debut in London in 2001 and set the record in his sixth race over the distance in Berlin 2003.
