London 2012 Olympics: Phillips Idowu's Games hope in jeopardy after pulling out of London Grand Prix with injury Speaking earlier this week, Idowu said: "I've not mentioned anything about an injury to be honest. No one's actually heard the words come out of my mouth, from my coach or from any of my representatives, so I've kind of just let that rumour mill just stir itself. While the latest withdrawal seems to raise further doubts over Idowu's ability to take his place at the London Olympics, Idowu took to Twitter to assure fans he will be fit for the Games. He tweeted: "Hey guys, sorry to have to pull out of #ALGP, slight bit of muscle tightness. I will be fine in a day or 2. Hope the other jumpers put on a great show for you. See you 7th aug. thanks for your support. Triple jump world record holder Jonathan Edwards backed Idowu's decision and said: "When I turned up at the track this morning, I asked myself 'would I have wanted to jump today?' and the answer was no. Phillips probably didn't fancy it, but there is nothing to worry about [with injury]. It's cold, damp and he doesn't want to take any risks. We will forgive him everything if he jumps well in London.
