(Reuters) - Former performance director of UK Athletics (UKA) Neil Black died over the weekend at the age of 60, the organisation said on Tuesday.

Black stood down as performance director after seven years in October when Britain managed only five medals at the world championships in Doha, the lowest total since 2005.
