Wales' Non Stanford has pulled out of the Leeds leg of the World Triathlon Series after falling ill on the eve of Sunday's race.

The 29-year-old, who is based in Leeds, said on social media that she was in hospital having tests.

"Nothing serious I hope and sure to see you all soon," said the former world champion.

Stanford helped Great Britain win World Triathlon Mixed Relay silver in Nottingham on Thursday.
