Video report by ITV News Sports Editor Steve Scott
British Gymnastics’ under-fire chief executive has announced she will retire from the role in December amid escalating allegations of bullying and abuse within the domestic sport.
Jane Allen’s resignation comes after ITV News revealed a series of abuse allegations from junior to elite gymnasts, with former-Olympic competitors speaking out too of their “traumatic” experiences at the hands of their coaches from a young age.
Rio 2016 bronze medallist Amy Tinkler revealed last week to ITV News that she would “give up her medal” to have not gone through what she had in British Gymnastics.
