The United Kingdom Athletics (UKA) yesterday (04) published names of thirty eight coaches and athletes whose coaching licenses have been withdrawn and some banned for life from taking or participating in any athletics events.
According to the UKA Website, it says, “the UKA take seriously a commitment to providing transparency around case decisions, and will endeavour – where possible – to publish some detail to ensure the sport is informed of the status of individuals. However, there may be times when we are unable to publish if there is risk it will compromise the work of partner agencies, or endanger the welfare of individuals involved in cases. ”
The axe also fell on four athletes including Scottish record holder in the 3000, 5000 and 10,000metres, Andrew Butchart who was suspended for twelve months and fined £5,000 and also asked to publicly apologise to the federation. the three others include Michael Duncan, Kyle Langford and Mark Edwards.
