- Abuse includes bullying, gaslighting and coercive control
- Review completion not expected until after Tokyo Olympics
A major review into abuse in British gymnastics has received submissions from nearly 400 people, with 39 cases considered so serious they have been passed to local authorities because of child safeguarding reasons or concerns of ongoing criminal conduct.
An interim report by Anne Whyte QC, published on Tuesday, also revealed British Gymnastics received 300 complaints a year on average between 2015 and 2020. However, Whyte said British Gymnastics had only managed to pass on details of about 1,000 complaints out of the 3,500 it had investigated and dealt with since 2008.
