UK Athletics is planning to take legal action after this year's Anniversary Games were moved out of London, a decision that the governing body's chief executive said tarnishes the legacy of the 2012 London Olympics.
West Ham United's London Stadium was due to host the Diamond League meeting on July 13, but the London Legacy Development Corporation this week said the event would have to be staged in Gateshead or Manchester as the cost required to convert the football stadium to an athletics venue and back was too much.
"It is devastating for us and our athletes, many of whom will be days away from going to compete on the biggest stage of their lives. We believe the LLDC are categorically in breach of their contracts and we are going to fight all the way."
