Exclusive comment from Hyde Peters, who will no longer take on the UK Athletics CEO position

Zara Hyde Peters says she agreed with the UK Athletics (UKA) board that “for the good of the sport” she has not taken up the chief executive position at the national governing body.

Following confirmation from UKA that the former international distance runner would not be stepping into the role on December 1, she told AW: “I have agreed with the board of UK Athletics that for the good of the sport I will not take up the role of CEO in light of recent media reporting.

“This has been one of the most painful experiences I have ever had to face.

“Trial by media is almost impossible to deal with and is not a process that properly protects the rights of those caught up in it.

“I have been a lifelong participant in – and contributor to – the sport of athletics. I have always respected the interests of the sport and my fellow competitors, the officials, and all the many volunteers involved; these are the most important things to me.

“I have been so supported by the messages of support from athletes, coaches and friends from around the world.”
