UKA staff are continuing to support the athletes during this time.”<\/span><\/p>\n Two days ago, after a newspaper reported a ‘falling out’, Young, who started working with Muir in 2011, told BBC Scotland: “There was no bust-up. I think you would find the girls were worried about my health if you spoke to them.<\/span><\/p>\n “Felt I wasn’t looking after myself properly, maybe thought pressure was getting to me. I’d say they were reading too much into it.”<\/span><\/p>\n
