Coach Rana Reider is subject of
Sexual Misconduct investigationUK Athletics removes sprinters from world-class programmeAdam Gemili and Laviai Nielsen have been removed from
UK Athletics’ world-class programme after opting to stay with their coach Rana Reider, who is the subject of a Safe Sport US investigation after multiple complaints of sexual misconduct were made against him.
It means that both sprinters will no longer receive lottery funding, which can be worth up to £28,000, or medical support from UKA while they remain with Reider in
Florida. However, a third
British athlete Daryll Neita, who was coached by Reider to the women’s Olympic 100m final, will stay on funding after deciding to leave his Tumbleweed training group.
