A World Athletics spokesperson said: “World Athletics has the ability to deny accreditation to any of its World Athletics Series events should it be necessary.”.

Minichiello was suspended by UKA in 2021 before being found guilty of 11 serious charges the following years, including mimicking sexual activity and touching an athlete’s breasts, as well as bullying and mental abuse.

Following the outcome of the investigation, Minichiello said: “I cannot fully express my disappointment with this decision and with UK Athletics' unfair handling of this process.

Marek Plawgo, a former athlete and one of the vice-presidents of the Polish Athletics Association (PZLA), says Minichiello receives no funding from their organisation and his appearance over the weekend caught them by surprise.

JESSICA ENNIS-HILL'S disgraced ex-coach Toni Minichiello has made a shock return to front-line athletics coaching despite his UK-wide ban.
