Leading American sprint coach Rana Reider - who was banished from the Paris Olympics over sexual abuse claims - faces allegation of rape by one of his former athletes
Leading sprint coach Rana Reider, who previously held a senior position at UK Athletics, is facing an allegation of rape by one of his former athletes.
The American, 54, was ejected from the Olympics earlier this week after it came to light he had been accused of sexual and emotional abuse by three female athletes in separate lawsuits filed with a Florida court.
It can now be reported that one of those cases involves the claim of rape at a hotel in Florida.
In legal submissions to a circuit court in Broward County, and seen by Mail Sport, the complaint, named as 'Jane Doe' to protect her identity, claims the incident occurred when Reider asked her to watch a movie with him in his room during a training camp.
Reider, who strongly refutes the allegation in a defence supplied to the court, is then accused of 'touching her and eventually proceeded to penetrate her'.

Jane Doe, who had recently turned 18 at the time of the alleged rape, is said in the papers to have been 'shocked and distraught during and after the ordeal'.
The claim details that she 'did not consent and did not want to have intercourse' with Reider, who in the following days bought her gifts, including expensive underwear and handbags.
The allegation continued: 'Given his psychological abuse of plaintiff, the extent of Reider's control over her, and her well-founded fear that he would retaliate and destroy her career if she ended the relationship or did not otherwise comply with his wishes, plaintiff could not and did not provide consent.'
In response to Jane Doe's complaint, Reider's lawyers filed a defence and a counterclaim for defamation.
The allegation continued: 'Given his psychological abuse of plaintiff, the extent of Reider's control over her, and her well-founded fear that he would retaliate and destroy her career if she ended the relationship or did not otherwise comply with his wishes, plaintiff could not and did not provide consent.'
The 23-page document, logged at the court in May, reads: 'To Reider's surprise and disappointment the plaintiff/counter-defendant only viewed him as a stepping stone to advance her career objectives.
'And when those career objectives were no longer obtainable due to advancing age, physical limitations, multiple injuries, she changed her persona of supportive partner to exploitive victim in order to extort a financial settlement and elevate her… by making unfounded, shocking, and career-threatening accusations against him of betrayal, rape, and sexual assault.'
Reider was UK Athletics' sprints and relays lead from 2012 until his sudden departure 2014, following an internal investigation into his conduct. He had been accredited by the Canadian federation for the current Olympics in Paris, where he was coaching their former gold medal-winning sprinter Andre De Grasse, as well as Italy's Marcell Jacobs, who won the 100m in Tokyo. They have made no complaints against Reider.

The Canadians withdrew Reider's credentials after a report in The Times that he was facing allegations of sexual and emotional abuse by two other athletes.
Reider's lawyer did not respond to a request for comment in response to those claims, which includes an allegation that he touched a female athlete's vagina without consent during a massage.
Reider was placed on a 12-month probation in May 2023 after admitting an 'imbalance of power' in an intimate relationship with one of his athletes, following an investigation by the US Center for SafeSport.
A UK Athletics spokesperson said: 'It is very concerning to hear of any such allegations against personnel within the wider sport of athletics let alone individuals that have been directly associated or engaged by UKA in the past.
'Whilst we cannot comment directly on any ongoing legal cases, we would encourage anyone within the sport to raise any concerns they have through the variety of routes available.
'UKA has significantly overhauled its conduct, welfare and safeguarding relating processes in recent years with a substantial investment in resource, independent scrutiny and expertise. However, it is essential to remain vigilant around the potential of individuals or behaviours that could compromise the safety and wellbeing of athletes.'
