His training partner Tangui told IAAF, "He has not trained for the last one week. His leg is painful and he has not been having simple time training. I am disappointed he will miss out on the trip to Doha. We had done so much together and I thought he would be fit,"

Last season, Rudisha clocked 1:43:00 for victory in Doha. He started this season running in Melbourne and Sydney and has targeted winning the Olympics and the world championship.

The wishes that David Rudisha recover's on time.
