Bayley out of track world's

Australian track sprinter and dual Olympic gold medallist Ryan Bayley will not be racing at the track world championships in Los Angeles next month after tests revealed a crack in his scapula bone in the back of his shoulder. This along with the two broken ribs he also sustained in a crash in Rockhampton in January has put him out of action for several weeks, ending his hopes of competing in Los Angeles.

Sean Eadie, the 2002 track sprint world champion and famous beard-wearer is also out of action, withdrawing from the Australian track championships, currently being held in Adelaide, South Australia, with a back injury.
