UK Athletics finds former coach Toni Minichiello committed “gross breaches of trust” and making sexual references and gestures to athletes.
Minichello, who guided Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill to Olympic success, was suspended from coaching last year.
An adjudication panel has found Minichello:
- made inappropriate sexual references and gestures to athletes.
- failed to respect the athletes right to a private life by making intrusive enquiries and personal comments about their personal lives.
- engaged in sexually physical behaviour, namely inappropriate and unwanted touching of athletes to whom he owed a duty of care.
- engaged in inappropriate and sometimes aggressive behaviour, bullying and emotional abuse.
