LONDON (Reuters) - Britain should move its preparation camp for the Rio Olympic Games outside Brazil to minimise the risk of catching the Zika virus, Jessica Ennis-Hill's coach said, adding he would not encourage the reigning heptathlon champion to defend her title.

Toni Minichiello was quoted as telling the Times he would speak to British Athletics performance director Neil Black about whether the 1.6 million pound ($2.3 million) camp could be shifted out of Belo Horizonte.
