The Shooting Federation of Cyprus is aware of at least five incidents of alleged sexual abuse after Commonwealth Games champion Andri Eleftheriou gave the name of an alleged attacker to the police.
Eleftheriou had first spoken out about being subject to abuse in 2018, but the incident is back under the spotlight after Greek sailor Sofia Bekatorou made similar allegations this week.
Bekatorou, who won gold in the 470 class at a home Olympic Games in Athens in 2004, said she was sexually abused in 1998 by a high-ranking member of the Hellenic Sailing Federation.
This sparked other victims of abuse to share their experiences.
