Alberto Salazar Placed on SafeSport's Temporarily Banned List After Alleged Verbal Abuse

Distance running coach Alberto Salazar has been placed on the United States Center for SafeSport's temporarily banned list, a decision that could lead to a lifetime ban. According to The New York Times, the center is investigating Salazar's conduct toward women he coached.

The decision is the latest in a series of recent actions that have put Salazar's future in the sport in question. Four months ago, the United States Anti-Doping Agency barred Salazar from the sport for four years for doping violations.

Salazar denies the doping violation charges and is appealing them.
