Andre De Grasse's coach, Rana Reider, is facing an investigation for sexual misconduct.
The U.S. Center for SafeSport has just begun investigating the 51-year-old Florida-based track coach, Reider's lawyer Ryan Stevens said in a statement to The Canadian Press.
De Grasse and his partner Nia Ali, the reigning women's world 100-metre hurdles champion from the U.S., left Phoenix to train with Reider in Jacksonville, Fla., in December of 2018. ``We will follow whatever orders or direction we get from the Office of the Commissioner,'' Athletics Canada said in a statement.
UK Athletics, Britain's governing body for track and field, said in a statement to The Canadian Press that, based on information it received from SafeSport, ``multiple complaints of sexual misconduct have been made against coach Rana Reider and that an investigation in the U.S. is imminent.''
