Lewis steps down as UK Athletics president

Dame Denise Lewis has "temporarily" stood down as UK Athletics president, two months after being elected.

The former Olympic heptathlon champion was voted to the position in December to succeed ex-sprinter Jason Gardener.

However, Lewis, 51, has made the "difficult decision" to take a temporary break "with the upcoming Olympics and a hectic summer ahead".
