LOS ANGELES: USA Track and Field's athletes grouping on Tuesday lashed out at World Athletics plans to cut several events from next year's Diamond League series, accusing the sport's global governing body of being"out of touch".

In its letter to Coe, the USATF athlete's grouping said it"wholeheartedly condemned" the Diamond League reforms.
