The 38-year-old had previously claimed he had retired from competing on the track after a dispute with a British Athletics coach at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.

Weir, who won four gold medals at London 2012 and two at Beijing 2008, said he would never represent Britain again after the "belittling" and "hurtful" remarks from Jenni Banks.

However, he appears set for one more appearance and will take to the track in the T54 800 metres at the Müller Anniversary Games on July 9.

"It's an opportunity to say goodbye to the fans and I jumped at the chance," Weir told the BBC.

"I just felt there was no desire for me to race on the track any more and this will be like a testimonial for me.

"The chance to compete one last time in the London Stadium was something I just couldn't miss.

"It is such a special place for me and London 2012 was the highlight of my career, so to have one last race and get a big send-off in that stadium will be fantastic.

"When I get out onto the track and hear the crowd for the last time, I am sure the memories of London 2012 will come flooding back."

Weir's grievance against Banks came after his poor performance in the heats of the T53/54 4x400m relay, which led to the British team failing to qualify for the final in Rio de Janeiro.

He was competing alongside Nathan Maguire, Richard Chiassaro and Moatez Jomni when he clocked a time around 10sec slower than he had posted at the European Championships earlier in 2016.

“I came off the track, and she came running over and accused me of sabotaging the team and doing it on purpose,” he told The Guardian at the time.

“She said I was a disgrace to the country.

“To be accused of not putting in 100 per cent during a race, it made me feel like s***.

“There was a few words thrown back and forwards, a lot of the teams saw what went on, and they were absolutely disgusted with the way she spoke to me. 

"I have not talked to her since.”

Banks was appointed in 2013 over Weir's long-term coach, Jenny Archer.

Weir, who claimed four gold medals on home turf at London 2012, also alleged that she threw his £3,000 ($3,800/€3,400) carbon fibre chair across a room during a row.

However, he later said that he could not confirm whether this happened as he did not see the incident first-hand.

A British Athletics disciplinary panel cleared Banks of any wrongdoing over this specific incident.

Weir, who was born with a spinal cord transection that left him unable to use his legs, has also won a record seven London Marathon titles, most recently in April.
