Rana Reider has reportedly been ejected from the 2024 Olympics in Paris after he was accused of sexual and emotional abuse by three women. 

Reider coaches both Andre De Grasse, Canada's defending Olympic 200m champion, and Lamont Marcell Jacobs, the Italian who claimed 100m gold in Tokyo.

But, according to The Times, Reider's access to the Games is being revoked by Canada’s National Olympic Committee after three women filed lawsuits against him in Florida.


It is claimed that, after the court cases came to light, USA Track & Field alerted its Canadian counterpart over the weekend.

Now, The Times reports, Canadian Olympic chiefs - who initially provided Reider with credentials in Paris - have informed the coach that his pass is being withdrawn.
