Outstanding article that could have only been written by someone who has been covering the issue of abuse in the Olympic Movement for 20+ years, someone clear-eyed enough to never lets athletes’ incredible fetes cloud the crimes behind curtain. Well done @sreidreporter 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Solving those crimes may be the hardest trick yet.

1/ Do you see how awful the fight that the Spanish football players have to go through, despite the video evidence, despite millions of people supporting them publicly? Now imagine a young teenage girl with less than zero power in grassroot football saying "i don't like this"...

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. There are no excuses for sexual violence, organisations are accountable. Safety cannot be taken for granted. It is more than checking boxes and we support the Spanish women’s football team

@J_Wat07 @dave_mcpartlin SAT s are standardised tests

[SwissSafeSport @SwissSafeSport]

@J_Wat07 @dave_mcpartlin Standardised testing is not an adequate measure of someone’s ability

Awful news: Figure skater Bridget Namiotka, who came forward as victim of sexual abuse by John Coughlin, is dead at 32. “Bridget succumbed to her long struggles with addiction after several very difficult years of dealing with the trauma of sexual abuse.” https://t.co/HKBj0BejAx
