Reece Prescod has accused UK Athletics of “emotional blackmail” in an explosive interview during which he defended his sudden decision to pull out of Britain’s 4x100m relay team.
Speaking after reaching Sunday’s 100m semi-finals, along with his fellow British sprinters Zharnel Hughes and Eugene Amo-Dadzie, Prescod also claimed that a member of UK Athletics’ hierarchy told him: “You know your reputation is going to be ruined if you do this,” after he decided to walk away.
