pollution in China is a threat to my health and it would be difficult for me to
run 42Km in my current condition. |

Athletics
icon Haile Gebresellasie told the Reuters last week, after he
decided to drop out from marathon race at the Beijing Olympic to
be held in August 2008. The response, after he claimed headlines
around the world here and abroad, was mixed.

it said the runner’s decision will not affect the game. China
gave him a cold nod, promising to fulfill its commitment of
reducing pollution between now and August. |
