Reider, an American citizen, also coaches Canada’s Andree De Grasse, who is looking to defend his 200m Olympic crown in Paris.
He was accredited for the Summer Games through the Canadian Olympic Committee for his personal work with De Grasse and Jacobs, who won the 100 metres in Tokyo three years ago, and several other sprinters.
The measure was requested by the World Athletics, possibly at the request of the International Olympic Committee.
The coach will now not be allowed to access training and competition venues.
Reider was investigated for alleged sexual misconduct by the US Center for SafeSport and was placed on a one-year probation that ended in May.
“The decision to provide him with that access was based on the understanding that his probation with the US Center for SafeSport ended in May this year, that he had no other suspensions or sanctions, and otherwise met our eligibility requirements,” the Canadian Olympic Committee said Monday.
“On Sunday, August 4 we learned of new information about the appropriateness of Mr Reider remaining accredited by Team Canada at the Paris 2024 Games.
“In discussion with Athletics Canada, it was agreed that Mr Reider’s accreditation be revoked,” the Canadian Olympic body added.
Athletics Canada also suspended Reider when the investigation began three years ago. De Grasse eventually began working with Reider again.
The situation is not expected to have an impact on Jacobs, who after finishing fifth in the 100m race is now slated to take part in the 4x100m relay.
