The Wanda Diamond League meeting in Doha is currently scheduled to go ahead as planned on May 8.
The Diamond League continues to monitor the situation in Doha, working in close coordination with meeting organisers, the Qatar Athletics Federation, the relevant authorities in Qatar and World Athletics.
The safety of athletes and spectators is our primary concern, and we are also exploring alternative options with all stakeholders.
A final decision will be made no later than a month before the scheduled date.
