An athlete-turned-whistleblower previously coached by banned coach Alberto Salazar has called for his Nike Oregon Project (NOP) to be closed down.

Salazar was last week banned for four years, in the middle of the World Athletics Championships, following a four-year investigation by the US Anti-Doping Agency .Athletes from his group won three gold medals at the championships in Doha.

"These athletes should do the right thing - staying in that uniform sends such a terrible message. They really need to shut it down and give athletes a chance to train under someone new and fresh." Nike has said it will support Salazar in his appeal, with the US sportswear giant arguing that the decision over Salazar"had nothing to do with administering banned substances to any Oregon Project athlete".
