LONDON (AP) — Long-distance running coach Alberto Salazar's former assistant is among those accusing the American of violating anti-doping rules and encouraging doping by one of his top runners, Olympic silver medalist Galen Rupp.
In a story Wednesday by ProPublica and BBC (http://bbc.in/1FudipG), former Salazar assistant Steve Magness accused Salazar of using doping practices for his athletes at the Nike Oregon Project.
The story quoted both Salazar and Rupp as denying any wrongdoing. Neither Salazar nor Rupp's agent, Ricky Simms, immediately responded to emails from The Associated Press.
Rupp won the silver medal in the 10,000 meters at the London Games, finishing behind another of Salazar's leading runners, Mo Farah of Britain.
