APNike has said that it would look into runner Mary Cain’s allegations of abuse while she was part of Alberto Salazar’s training group. The runner says it reached the point where she started having suicidal thoughts and cutting herself. Cain joined the now-disbanded Nike Oregon Project run by Salazar in 2013, soon after competing in the 1,500m final at track and field’s world championships when she was 17. Nike said in a statement these are “deeply troubling allegations that have not been raised by Mary or her parents before. In trying to cut weight, Cain said she did not have her period for three years and broke five different bones.
