They had said to us they couldn't name him in the 1500 if he didn't run the 1500 at the trials, but they've said 'we'll accept he's good enough'.

He's still a hero. It's just a really hollow feeling because he didn't get to test out all the work he had done.

He's best male athlete that we have got, he's clearly world class.

That was the worst race we could have asked for.

They haven't decided yet. It's not really the No. 1 thing on their mind.

I told him they were tough and they wouldn't have given up like he had. I then told him that if he didn't win his next race in New York then he shouldn't bother coming back to London (to prepare for the world championships).

He's just looking forward to having a run around in Australia, as a bit of a guide to see how he's feeling.

He hasn't looked back since then (the Stanford disaster).
