Gymnastics abuse: Athletes reveal their stories after Whyte Review report

This week, a damning report led by Anne Whyte QC laid bare “systemic” issues of physical and emotional abuse in gymnastics, as well as some incidents of sexual abuse.

The £3m review and its 306-page report detailed incidents of athletes being made to train on broken bones, punished for needing the toilet, sat on by coaches, and subjected to excessive weight management – which left some with eating disorders described as the “tyranny of the scales” by Whyte.
