Twice winner Lel to miss NYC Marathon with injury

</head> <body> <p>NEW YORK (Reuters) - Twice winner Martin Lel of Kenya has pulled out of Sunday's New York City Marathon because of a leg injury, organizers said on Wednesday.</p> <p>The 31-year-old Lel, the 2003 and 2007 champion, was coming off victory in last month's Great North Half Marathon in England but a nagging injury began to bother him again, his manager said.</p> <p>Lel had been considered one of the top contenders in a race that will feature holder and twice champion Marilson Gomes dos Santos of Brazil, double world champion Jaouad Gharib of Morocco and four-times Boston champion Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot of Kenya.</p> <p>Russian Tatyana Petrova, winner of this year's Los Angeles Marathon, withdrew from the women's race due to illness.</p> <p>(Reporting by Larry Fine,
