Double Olympic gold medallist Mo Farah has withdrawn from the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow due to illness.
The 31 year old won the 5,000m and 10,000m at London 2012 and was set to run both distances in Scotland.

However, he has decided to stay at his training camp to be fit for August's European Championships in Zurich.
In March, Mo Farah collapsed after completing the New York City Half Marathon
The Team England athlete said it was a "tough decision", adding: "The sickness I had two weeks ago was a big setback."




 Meanwhile, Jodie Stimpson of England has claimed the first gold medal at Glasgow 2014 with victory in the women's triathlon.

A group of five were in contention entering the third and final 3.3km lap of the concluding run.

Birmingham's Stimpson, 25, pulled away from Canada's Kirsten Sweetland to finish in one hour 58 minutes 56 seconds.
