A member of Oxford University’s women’s boat club has made an allegation of rape against another elite athlete, in a case which raises concerns about the culture among the university’s sportsmen and the way its institutions handle claims of sexual assault.
The alleged rape took place on 25 October last year and the complainant says she initially approached the university women’s rowing club (OUWBC) two days later for support. But she says her experience suggested a lack of knowledge about signposting to the correct support services and she felt staff were slow to respond to her request for help in avoiding having to see the alleged perpetrator.

THEY are two rival cities who have slugged out for centuries. When it comes to Edinburgh and Glasgow, the cities seem to see everything as a source of competition: salt and sauce versus salt and vinegar, high culture versus clubbing; and even trams versus the subway. But for the University rowing teams gathered outside Glasgow s Riverside Transport Museum yesterday on a windy Saturday, the rivalry was about one thing only: who can win the Scottish Boat Race. The Edinburgh-Glasgow race - one of the oldest University boat races in the world - held its 139th meet on a choppy River Clyde, with University teams from the two cities pitched against each other across eight races.
