The coach who guided Laura Muir to Olympic and world championship medals has been banned for three years for serious misconduct, including driving at speed with an athlete in his car after a disagreement before abandoning them at the roadside.
Andy Young, who also coached Jemma Reekie to fourth place in the 800m at the Tokyo Games, was found by two independent panels to have placed performance above athlete welfare, ignored medical advice and used manipulative and coercive behaviour towards those he coached.
