Umbro listens to Jewish groups and drops name

Sports supplier Umbro said it will drop the name Zyklon from one of its running shoes after Jewish groups complained that the word referred to a deadly gas used by Nazi Germany to kill millions of Jews.

A spokesman said the decision to call the track shoe Zyklon was coincidental, and apologised for any upset it might have caused.

The Nazis used Zyklon B in death camps during World War II.
