- Coach sanctioned over relationship with one of his athletes
- Governing bodies awaiting full report from US SafeSport
World Athletics is awaiting a US Center for SafeSport report into Rana Reider after the renowned sprint coach revealed he had been sanctioned for a relationship that “presented a power imbalance” with one of his athletes.
Reider, who guided Andre de Grasse to the Olympic 200m title and also coached British athletes Adam Gemili and Daryll Neita before they left him, will now have to undergo a 12-month probation after acknowledging his behaviour. However his lawyer, Ryan Stevens, said that Reider “was not found in violation of any other sexual misconduct claims” made against him.
