Nick Symmonds, the 800-meter runner who also serves as a major voice for athlete's rights in track, will not compete at Olympic Trials because of a left ankle injury.

He posted the announcement on Instagram, saying he has a torn ligament and a stress fracture. The 32-year-old runner said he is not retiring, but his 2016 season is over.

Symmonds boycotted the world championships last year to protest what he called unfair restrictions on what apparel athletes were allowed to wear.
