Toni Minichiello deemed ineligible for public funding at UK Sport appeal panel
- Panel finds former coach brought UK Athletics into disrepute
- Minichiello given life ban in 2022 over ‘gross breaches of trust’
Toni Minichiello, who coached Jessica Ennis-Hill to Olympic heptathlon glory, has been declared ineligible to receive public funding following the issuing of a life ban from athletics in August 2022.
An investigation found Minichiello engaged in “sexually physical behaviour” with athletes and an independent case management group issued a life ban from track and field.
