In accordance with the UK Sport Funding Eligibility Policy, UK Sport convened an Eligibility Panel to consider Mr Young’s eligibility to receive Public Funding and/or Publicly Funded Benefits.
The Eligibility Panel found that Mr Young’s conduct (i) amounted to Misconduct within the meaning of paragraph 5.1 of Part A of the Policy, and (ii) brought himself, his sport and UK Athletics into Disrepute within the meaning of paragraph 5.2 of Part A of the Policy.
In line with the powers available to the Panel under paragraph 7.1 of Part A of the Policy, it was determined that Mr Young is ineligible to receive Public Funding and/or Publicly Funded Benefits and will remain ineligible until UK Sport is satisfied that:
- Mr Young is granted a coach license or appointed to a role which may qualify him to receive Public Funding and/or Publicly Funded Benefits by either (a) UK Athletics or (b) another National Governing Body; and
- Mr Young has satisfactorily completed the training courses set out in the UK Athletics Disciplinary Panel Decision dated 8 October 2024.
Notes
The Funding Eligibility Policy outlines the criteria that Athletes and Athlete Support Personnel (ASP) must meet to be eligible to receive Public Funding and/or Publicly Funded Benefits;
Public Funding refers to funding provided directly by UK Sport to an Athlete or ASP (usually an Athlete Performance Award to Athletes that contributes to their living and sporting costs);
Publicly Funded Benefits means support services or other benefits of any kind funded by UK Sport or National Governing Bodies (for example, access to facilities, medical support, training and development, consultancy fees, or travel and subsistence expenses);
