A security guard assigned to the World Athletics Championships has been fired after a reader of the website 444 took a picture of his Nazi SS tattoo.

The organisers of the competition said they had immediately asked the sub-contractor providing security services to take immediate action.

His employer, Valton Security, said the man had concealed the tattoo by wearing a hood when he applied for the position.
