Blake will run the 100m, according to the announcement made by the International Association of Athletics Federations Monday.

He is currently the joint second-fastest 100m-runner in history, tied at 9.69 with American Tyson Gay and only bettered by countryman and double individual world record-holder Usain Bolt.

Doha, in the Asian country of Qatar, is the first stop of the 14-city Diamond League series.
