The Governing Body for uk athletics says its committed to changing a policy which allows coaches who are found guilty of abuse, to return to work once their ban has elapsed. Almost 2,000 athletes have signed an open letter saying abusers should face lifetime bans. If you remove the word coach and replace it with doctor, these things would not be happening. Athlete welfare has been under the spotlight like never before. But serious concerns have recently been raised about short term suspensions being given to athletic coaches found guilty of abuse. One athlete of a band coach told us the possibility of him returning to coaching was a terrifying prospect. The ten days ago, three athletes took the issue to the top.

Almost 2000 people added their names to the letter in a week including team gb athletes jazmine sawyer, Hannah England and idella tracy, the British Athletes Commission and some top coaches.

And finally as part of lgbt History Month weve been speaking to champion Figure Skater eric radford. He says becoming the first openly gay male Winter Olympics gold medallist made him � explode with pride,� and describes the moment he came out as though someone had taken invisible bricks off his shoulders i remember the day before the interview came out i had panic attack. And i was like, i did not think this through, what if im giving up all of my Sponsorship Opportunities . What if im never going to come and you know, get any Sport Contracts because now Everybody Knows im gay . That momentum carried me, that decision. The success i was having on the ice lent itself to me feeling comfortable to be able to talk about that, my personal life. I had a mini freak out before and then the article came out and right away my phone started ringing, it was all positive. I got so many messages online from people around the world. Right after i get the first when i thought it was worth it. Totally worth it to come out. If you look its like this for everybody can when you reveal something about yourself and you have a secret you feel lighter. It was like someone had taken these invisible bricks of my shoulders. And when it came to expressing myself and even expressing myself and even expressing myself and even expressing myself with meghan i felt even more free than i did before. I think standing on top of the podium is going to be one of the highlights of my life. I did not realise i was the first openly gay athlete to get a gold medal until after. Like going and i was not thinking this is the possibility to make history, i opened up my twitter and saw that and i was like itjust made me explode with pride. It was just so cool and very unexpected. I thought that if i came out it would, my story would just be lost in that wave, in that deluge of other stories that i did not think it would be the most effective time, and i very much wanted a fertile epic story to be about my athletic story and everything ive had to overcome just to get there. I did not want to be about my sexuality which in a way has nothing to do with my Sporting Ability anyway. When people ask me what the, you know, how was russia compared to pyeongchang there such a Different Air, and Different Air in the air. I remember still feeling that controlling of myself. Because i was not completely out and i was not as comfortable with myself, and ijust felt like i did not care. I could be myself 100 . And with adam and with gus it felt like there was a change, there was a Shift Happening in athletes sexuality, those were big stories and dishes more commonplace. A kind of see this all going. Which of the time when athletes feel comfortable you still need athletes to break through that barrier and push that barrier along. So that theres more space for everybody to feel comfortable.

The Flood Warnings have been rising through the day, the met Office Amber Warning stays in force into wednesday morning. We are expecting in excess of 100 mm of rain in parts of scotland before the rainfall finally stops. But its not just these areas we are concerned with. Because the rain is covering a far wider area, the river levels are already high, the ground is saturated and has been so wet and last month or two. So concerns for disruption further flooding is that rain keeps piling in on the strong to Gailfor Assessments Rain keeps piling in on the strong to gail for assessments really wins. Temperature very mild night indeed, but a pretty wet one for some of us.
