A Reuters report written by veteran athletics journalist Gene Cherry says that Kenenisa Bekele has withdrawn from the Prefontaine Classic meeting in Eugene, Ore., on Sunday.

“He’s not coming,” said Bekele’s manager, Jos Hermens. “He feels like he is only 90 percent fit and not ready to compete at the high level he would need here.”
