DOHA (Reuters) - American Christian Coleman's dream of adding the 200 metres to the 100 metre world title he won on Saturday has ended after he pulled out of Sunday's opening round because he was still "feeling the strain".

Coleman was due to run in the second heat at the world championships on Sunday evening but his name was withdrawn from the start list hours before the race.
