Sprinter Andre De Grasse and decathlete Pierce LePage are among the top Canadian track and field stars who have withdrawn from competing at the upcoming Commonwealth Games.
De Grasse ran the anchor leg as Canada won gold in the 4×100-metre relay at the recent world track and field championships.
Aaron Brown and Jerome Blake, who were also part of the relay team, have also withdrawn.
De Grasse, who had a bout with COVID-19 about a month back, failed to qualify for the men’s 100m final at the world championships before pulling out of the 200m event altogether.
