Ulrik Pedersen/DeFodi Images via Getty ImagesAndy Young, a former coach of Laura Muir, has been banned from athletics for three years after being found guilty of serious misconduct.
The original panel concluded Young had placed performance above athlete welfare, UKA said, and had ignored medical advice and used manipulative and coercive behaviour towards those he coached.
As well as the backdated three-year ban, Young is required to complete training on athlete welfare, medical collaboration, injury management, bullying and harassment.
"This case underlines that performance and medals can never come at the expense of athlete welfare.
"We have strengthened reporting systems, expanded welfare support, and ensured independent expertise and support is available when concerns are raised.
