DOHA (Reuters) - World 100 metres champion Christian Coleman has pulled out of the 200 metres, a day after the American won the blue riband event.

Coleman, 23, was left off the starting list for Sunday's opening heats at the world championships and his manager Emanuel Hudson said he was still feeling the strain after his performance the previous evening.
