- Gymnastics for Change has called for commission to be paused
- Independent body set up to hear alleged abuse cases by coaches
An independent complaints commission set up by British Gymnastics to hear abuse cases has been called “not fit for purpose” after it emerged that it had failed to ban a single coach over the past 18 months.
The campaign group Gymnasts for Change said there was now a “complete crisis of confidence” among its members in the process and it had written an open letter to British Gymnastics, UK Sport and Sport England calling for the commission to be immediately paused.
