Gymnastics Canada failed its athletes by not publicizing the results of an internal investigation into the organization's handling of misconduct allegations, former gymnasts and coaches say.
In today's Morning Brief, Gymnastics Canada failed its athletes by not publicizing the results of an internal investigation into the organization's handling of misconduct allegations, former gymnasts and coaches say.
After CBC revealed a prominent coach was promoted despite allegations of inappropriate behaviour, then allowed to resign voluntarily after he failed to improve on that behaviour, Canada's sport minister says Gymnastics Canada wrongfully gave the coach "an easy way out."
Amid growing public scrutiny over harassment and abuse in sport, CBC has learned the current CEO of Gymnastics Canada once promoted a coach to one of the highest positions within the organization despite having received complaints alleging inappropriate behaviour.
