The Spanish Anti-Doping Agency has confirmed that Athletics coach Jama Aden was arrested earlier today at a hotel in Spain in a joint operation with the sport's world governing body, the IAAF, and Catalan police.
There have been no further details released.
Aden, who is from Somalia, coaches, among others, Ethiopia's 1500 metres world record holder and world champion Genzebe Dibaba, Mens Olympic 1500 metres gold medallist Taoufik Makhloufi from Algeria, and Djobouti's Ayanleh Souilieman - the former World Indoor champion for that same distance.
None of the athletes have commented on Aden's arrest.
He had been staying in Sabadell, Catalunia, close to his training camp.
The Olympics start in August in Rio de Janeiro.
