To @BritAthletics & @jackrbuckner ,

I write with a heavy heart following the tragic passing of Robbie, a dedicated athlete who represented Great Britain on 8 occasions as both a junior and senior. His passion for the sport and commitment to excellence were undeniable. As a close friend, I have been reflecting on the countless moments we shared—whether it was enduring long winter miles, traveling to Kenya for training, or simply enjoying cups of tea after a hard day’s work. Robbie’s love for athletics shaped his life and inspired many around him.

It is, however, deeply disheartening to see that British Athletics has yet to acknowledge Robbie’s passing. For someone who gave so much to the sport, this silence is concerning—especially during Mental Health Week, a time when mental health in sport should be at the forefront of discussions.

This oversight not only feels like a missed opportunity to honor Robbie but also raises concerns about the duty of care shown to athletes by coaches and the federation as a whole. Mental health is a vital part of an athlete’s well-being, yet this tragic loss seems to have passed without recognition or reflection from those who should be leading the charge on such issues. This lack of acknowledgment signals a broader issue within the system, where athletes’ mental and emotional needs often seem overlooked, both in life and, sadly, in death.

While a post won’t bring Robbie back, it could have been a moment to raise awareness of the mental health challenges athletes face and to remind others in the community that support is available. I sincerely hope British Athletics can reflect on this and take steps to improve how we support and care for the people who give so much to the sport.

Robbie deserves to be remembered, and the lessons from this tragedy should not be ignored.

@GNev2 His leading leg doesn’t even make contact with the player, his trailing leg makes contact with the laces. Yellow Card.

@Cathal_Dennehy Using this photo as the headline image is an absolute disgrace when there are 100’s of other professional photos that could have been used to depict Leon - making a genuinely good guy look like a criminal.
