( CNN) Footwear and apparel company Nike says it will launch an inquiry into allegations made by a former athlete against the disgraced former head coach-and-four of its now shuttered elite go program, the Nike Oregon Project.
In October, the US Anti-Doping Agency banned Salazar for four years for “multiple anti-doping rule violations.” No athletes were immediately implicated in government decisions , nor have any tested positive. At the time, Nike told CNN it would “continue to support Alberto in his appeal” of the ban.
Nike subsequently shut down its Oregon Project, which had developed athletes like Olympic gold medalist Mo Farah, saying the situation had become an “unfair burden” on its athletes.
