An Alberto Salazar lurking at a track and field meet doesn't provide affected athletes a positive, (emotionally) safe and/or secure environment.
SafeSport can create Temporary Measures that allow the centre flexibility to mitigate potential risks to the sport community and to protect the well-being of individuals.
They are implemented on a case-by-case basis and tailored to the specific needs of a matter.
They can include many different tools, including, for example, no-contact orders, restrictions on travel or event attendance, restrictions on interactions with minors and temporary suspensions.
Alberto Salazar might get into one event, but if discovered, probably never another one.
Generally speaking, meet directors/facilities do not need temporary measures in order to trespass an individual that they don't want to be there. But the temporary measures can definitely be helpful if there is a no-contact type of situation.
If a meet was a USATF-sanctioned event, theoretically Alberto could be there as a spectator and the meet management would likely not get in trouble. For example, if one of his children were competing, it might be allowed.
But if there was evidence of him coaching or participating in some way, the meet management could run into trouble with USATF and lose their ability to sanction events in the future. If meet management didn't want him there at all, in most (if not all) parts of the US, they have the freedom to kick him out or bar him from entry. Being banned by SafeSport is not a protected class.
These aren't hypotheticals, these issues have already come up with other banned coaches.
