Rhasidat Adeleke has withdrawn from Friday night's Diamond League meeting in Monaco, having turned in a sub-par performance on her return to the 400m in Eugene, Oregon last weekend, where the 23-year-old finished ninth in 52.26 seconds.

Adeleke was among the entries for the Herculis Meeting in Monaco this Friday but was removed from the line-up earlier today, replaced by Dutch athlete Lieke Klaver. Adeleke took victory in Monaco in 2024, clocking 49.17.
