After picking an injury during the men’s 400m semi-final yesterday, Bayapo Ndori has been withdrawn from the 4x400m relay team participating in the ongoing World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

The initial round of the men’s 4x400m relay is scheduled for Saturday. Ndori was anticipated to play a pivotal role in the race but has now been ruled out due to injury.

"But for safety, he is withdrawn from the relay team to give him some recovery period," he stated.
