Marathoner Mosop ruled out of Olympics

Kenya's Moses Mosop, the reigning Chicago marathon champion, was ruled out of the London Olympics yesterday after failing to recover from an achilles tendon injury, athletics officials said

The 26-year-old Mosop, who was a surprise inclusion in a three-man Olympic squad which includes two-time World champion Abel Kirui and Wilson Kipsang, has been replaced by the 2011 London marathon winner Emmanuel Mutai, according Athletics Kenya (AK) secretary David Okeyo.
