Marcell Jacobs' coach has been kicked out of the Paris 2024 Olympics after his accreditation was withdrawn. Rana Reider, also coach of Canadian sprinter Andree De Grasse, had previously been accused of sexual abuse.
American, he had been accredited by the Canadian Olympic Committee as a staff member, therefore not on the Team Canada staff. But now, as requested by World Athletics (the World Athletics Federation), probably at the urging of the IOC, it was the Canadian Committee itself that withdrew his accreditation.
Reider will therefore no longer be able to access the facilities where training takes place. A situation that should not have any effect on Jacobs' Olympics, who after finishing in fifth place in the 100m final is now competing for the 4x100m relay.
