The following statement can be attributed to WAIS CEO Steve Lawrence:

In relation to recent media enquiries, I can confirm that Alex Parnov has tendered his resignation as head coach of the WAIS pole vault program.

Alex is currently the subject of a WAIS initiated independent investigation into concerns over his behaviour as a WAIS employee.

Due to the on-going nature of this process and our responsibilities to maintain integrity of this process, I am unable to offer any further details as to the nature of the information being investigated.
