IOC wants to know if Olympics affected by Salazar doping

The International Olympic Committee wants to know if the Games could have been “affected” by doping by banned US coach Alberto Salazar, IOC president President Thomas Bach said on Thursday. It said that the doping offences were carried out “in connection” with the Oregon Project, an elite running programme Salazar set up with Nike in 2001. “Could any Olympic results directly or indirectly be affected?” Salazar, the coach until 2017 of multiple Olympic champion Mo Farah, and of athletes competing at the World Championships in Doha, was banned for “organising and encouraging prohibited doping conduct,” said USADA. I always have, he’s been a great coach, a great leader and a great example.” Meanwhile one of the Oregon Project’s most forthright critics, Engels’ USA team-mate Jenny Simpson, said Salazar’s downfall should be cause for celebration.
