The World Anti-Doping Agency must research all athletes who trained with prohibited Alberto Salazar, according to IOC president Thomas Bach.
Salazar, the former coach of Britains Mo Farah, was this week found guilty of doping violations after a four-year investigation by the US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada).
61, the decision against Salazar, came after a two-year court battle.
Bach stated the instance isvery stressing and raises serious issues.
Speaking at a news conference on Thursday, Bach said:We are confident that Wada will look into this situation very carefully and will follow up on queries which remain after this record.
The IOC will compose a letter to Wada in this respect
On what he will be requesting Wada, Bach added:To see the number of athletes are investigated. Have the athletes been investigated whove been training in this facility?
Does the report address the entire length of the presence of this project or just part of it?
Can any Olympic consequences directly or indirectly be impacted?
We learned from the report which the athletes would not have known what happened to them – this can be a significant element when looking at sanctions however disqualification is required whether the athlete understands or not.
We are very confident that Wada is considering this anyway so we are awaiting the advice out of Wada inside this respect.
In a statement, Wada said:Wada notes the decisions passed in the instances of Alberto Salazar and Jeffrey Brown in connection for their participation in the Nike Oregon Project. As always, Wada will examine all facets of this case.
We will await the IOCs correspondence but we cant comment publicly until we have reviewed the situation in full
Salazar, who has said hell appeal the decision, runs the Nike Oregon Project – house to four-time Olympic winner Farah from 2011 before 2017.
Even the 36-year-old Farah, plus a six-time world champion, said:Im relieved that Usada has, after four decades, completed their investigation into Alberto Salazar.
I abandoned the Nike Oregon Project at 2017 however, as Ive always stated, I dont have any tolerance for anybody who violates the rules or crosses a line. Im glad there has been a decision.
The Briton has always been denied breaking any rules and hasnt failed a drugs test.
Allegations against Salazar surfaced in 2015, however, UK Athletics cleared Farah to remain together with the Nike Oregon Project.
