World Athletics has issued a warning to Great Britain regarding sprinter Jeremiah Azu’s “100% Jesus” headband, which he wore during the men’s 100m semi-finals at the World Championships in Tokyo. The governing body reminded the team of its regulations prohibiting political, religious, or personal slogans during competition.

Azu, who finished fourth in his semi-final heat with a time of 10.05 seconds, may still compete in the 4x100m relay on Saturday. World Athletics stated that it will remind the team of the rules and potential consequences if Azu wears the headband again.

“We are aware of the headband, and as he may compete in the relay, we will remind the team ahead of competition of our regulations and of consequences,” a World Athletics spokesperson said.
