An independent report has criticised a totally dysfunctional high-level sports concept at the Swiss Gymnastics Federation (STV), following allegations of abuse in rhythmic gymnastics.
The STV announced an independent investigation last year, following allegations made by former gymnasts.
Findings were presented by Zurich law firm Pachmann Rechtsanwälte yesterday, with a full report due out on Monday (February 1).
Thilo Pachmann, a member of the investigation team, said the report did not confirm all allegations made but delivered a highly critical assessment of the treatment of gymnasts.
According to the Swiss newspaper
Le Matin, the report found that more than 90 per cent of gymnasts were regularly yelled at over the past eight years.
