The Crown Prosecution Service announced charges against UK Athletics and the former head of sport, Keith Davies, for manslaughter relating to the tragic death of Paralympian Abdullah Hayayei.
Abdullah Hayayei succumbed to severe injuries after being struck by a metal pole during his training session in 2017, raising significant concerns about safety protocols in athletics.
The legal actions taken against UK Athletics highlight the responsibility governing bodies have in ensuring the safety of athletes, particularly in high-stakes and potentially dangerous environments.
The court date set for January 31 will mark an important moment in addressing accountability within sports organizations, especially concerning safety measures and operational standards.
