Pedro Pichardo will not participate in the World Championship in Athletics.

He is a Sport Lisboa e Benfica's athlete since April. Since then, he was present in three competitions – Lisbon, Paris and Lausanne – as an athlete of Benfica.

According to the regulations of the Federação Portuguesa de Atletismo (FPA), Pichardo will only be able to participate in a national collective competition 12 months after his registration.

In relation to the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and according to the Cuban Federation situation – the country only recognizes athletes of their own athletics school -, he will not participate in this world championship, from August 4th to 13th.

Pedro Pichardo used the social networks to thank Benfica for all the support and express his sadness for not being able to perform in London.
