• Governing body rejects claim US company was forewarned

Track and field’s governing body also rejected claims that the US company might have had advanced warning of its new regulations, announced last Friday, after the company’s new Air Zoom Alphafly Next% slipped just inside the new 40mm limit for heel size.
