Rana Reider, a Florida-based sprinting expert, has worked closely with Canadian Olympic gold medalist Andre De Grasse for nearly three years. Mr. Reider is facing multiple complaints of sexual misconduct
Canadian sprinter Andre De Grasse’s coach is set to be investigated by a sports oversight body in the United States over allegations of sexual misconduct.
When asked if any Canadian athletes were involved in lodging an accusation against Mr. Reider, Athletics Canada CEO David Bedford said the group had not received any complaints against him. “An investigation in the U.S. is imminent,” British Athletics said. It has told its national team athletes they must immediately cease training with Mr. Reider.
The organization declined to say if it has made contact with Mr. De Grasse, or if he would be required to pause training with Mr. Reider. Representatives for Mr. De Grasse did not reply to requests for comment.
