    UK Athletics has pleaded guilty to the corporate manslaughter of Paralympian Abdullah Hayayei.

    Hayayei died aged 36 after a metal cage fell on him while training at Newham Leisure Centre, London in July 2017.

    UK Athletics pleaded not guilty to the charge in March 2025 but entered a fresh plea on Friday at an Old Bailey hearing.

    Keith Davies, the head of sport for the 2017 World Para-athletics Championships, also pleaded guilty to a health and safety charge, having previously denied gross negligence manslaughter.

    Prosecutor Karen Robinson asked the court to set a two-day sentencing hearing in early June, confirming the prosecution would not seek a trial and the outstanding charges would be dealt with at the conclusion of the sentencing.

    Davies, 78, was granted continued bail on the condition he liaise with the Probation Service for a pre-sentence report.
