He goes on to say there are currently no plans for Scott-Thomas to resume his coaching duties with the organization.

"The university has not shared with Speed River Club, or any of its member representatives, any information from the university's review or other investigative findings..." MacDonald states.

"Speed River Track and Field Club has not received any complaints, formal or otherwise, that involve Speed River Club members or any other athlete."

A statement posted Tuesday on the Athletics Canada (AC) website says they have "provided notice of termination to both SRTFC(Speed River Track and Field Club) and the University of Guelph in regards to their recognition as a High Performance Centre of Excellence."

AC is the national governing body for athletics in Canada, including track and field.

Reached by phone, Dave Bedford, CEO of AC, says that $75,000 in annual funding was provided to the university, along with the designation. The school will now lose that money.

While Athletics Canada contracts independent commissioners that investigate complaints, Bedford says there are no records of complaints regarding Scott-Thomas, dating back to 2015. The statement from AC says they will investigate if any complaints occurred before that time.

Regardless, Bedford says the firing of Scott-Thomas provides enough reason to launch their own investigation.

"Clearly, Guelph would not take that action if they didn't find merit to the complaint," Bedford says.

However, he says he does not know the specifics of what occurred in Guelph, only the "nature" of the complaint, which he would not reveal, saying that will be up to the university.

Scott-Thomas was a coach at the 2016 Olympics, but Bedford says he's not on the Team Canada coaching staff for the 2020 Olympics. However, as a personal coach to Olympic athletes, he could be used to augment Canada's coaching roster, unless the AC investigation leads to a recommendation that he should not be.

"We're going to refer this complaint to the commissioner's office, let them investigate. When they come to a determination, then we'll take action to that point."
