One of the world’s best track and field coaches, Rana Reider will be investigated by the American Center for Safe Sport, an independent organization that deals with allegations of abuse, following several complaints by athletes for sexual misconduct. The information comes from the British newspaper “The Guardian”.
Rana runs an elite training center in Florida and works with Canadian Olympic 200m champion Andre De Grasse and triple jump champion Christian Taylor.

The Guardian heard from Ryan Stephens, Reider’s lawyer, who denies having received any notification of a possible investigation.
“The timing and suspicious motives associated with these unproven attacks on Rana’s reputation must be fully investigated and scrutinized, and they were not,” the lawyer said. .
According to the UK newspaper, athletes such as Adam Gemili and Daryll Neita have been instructed by the UK Athletics Federation to end the working partnership with Reider, and disobedience could result in lost profits.
