UK Sport help cash-strapped governing body to stage eventUKA feared they could lose £500,000 from hosting meeting
Cash-strapped UK Athletics has been handed £150,000 of lottery cash to help stage next month’s London Diamond League in a major boost for the struggling governing body.
At one stage, UKA feared they could lose around £500,000 from the meeting at the London Stadium but insiders have told the Guardian that the injection of the money from UK Sport’s major event fund – along with the sale of 39,000 tickets so far – will help it break even.
