By Adam Kopet

Pierre-Ambroise Bosse of France announced Wednesday on Facebook that he was the victim of an assault Saturday that has left him with multiple facial fractures.

Bosse, the IAAF World Outdoor 800-meter champion, had been set to compete at the DecaNation meet Sept. 9, but he has since withdrawn and ended his season.

David Monti posted an English translation of Bosse's announcement on Twitter.
