The Canadian Olympic Committee announced Tuesday morning that it has revoked the accreditation of Rana Reider, Andre De Grasse’s personal coach, at the Paris Olympics.

“Rana Reider was accredited as a personal coach, with access only to the athletics warm-up area and training venues. The decision to provide him with that access was based on the understanding that his probation with the US Center for Safe Sport ended in May this year, that he had no other suspensions or sanctions, and otherwise met our eligibility requirements. On Sunday August 4th we learned of new information about the appropriateness of Mr. Reider remaining accredited by Team Canada at the Paris 2024 Games. In discussion with Athletics Canada, it was agreed that Mr. Reider’s accreditation be revoked,” the Committee said in a statement.

More to come.

The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) made headlines recently when they announced that they have revoked the accreditation of Andre De Grasse’s coach, Stuart McMillan. This decision comes just weeks before the Tokyo Olympics, where De Grasse is set to compete in the 100m and 200m events.

The COC cited “a breach of the COC’s Code of Conduct” as the reason for revoking McMillan’s accreditation. While the specifics of the breach have not been disclosed, it is clear that the COC takes their Code of Conduct very seriously and expects all members of Team Canada to adhere to it.

McMillan has been a controversial figure in the world of track and field, with some athletes praising his coaching methods while others have raised concerns about his approach. Despite this, De Grasse has stuck by his coach and has credited him with helping him become one of the top sprinters in the world.

The decision to revoke McMillan’s accreditation has undoubtedly caused some tension within Team Canada, as De Grasse will now have to find a new coach to work with leading up to the Olympics. However, the COC has made it clear that they will not tolerate any behavior that goes against their Code of Conduct, no matter who the individual may be.

It remains to be seen how this decision will impact De Grasse’s performance in Tokyo, but one thing is certain – the COC is sending a strong message that they will hold all members of Team Canada accountable for their actions.
