(Reuters) - The former Belarus Olympic head coach Yury Moisevich has been banned for five years for his role in the events leading up to sprinter Krystsina Tsimanouskaya's shock departure from the Tokyo Games in 2021, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) said on Tuesday.

Moisevich was found by a disciplinary tribunal to be in breach of World Athletics’ Integrity Code of Conduct.
