British Gymnastics: There will be ‘zero tolerance’ to abuse in the future
British Gymnastics’ action plan says there will be “zero tolerance” to abuse of any kind in the future.
It follows an ITV News investigation into widespread abuse in the sport, which led to a review into the scandal. The investigation, which began in 2020, led to a 300-page report being published.
