- Allen denies December retirement is related to scandal
The beleaguered British Gymnastics chief executive, Jane Allen, has announced that she is to step down but has denied her decision is related to the abuse scandal that has rocked the sport.
Under Allen’s leadership, Great Britain’s gymnasts became a force at world level, winning 11 Olympic medals. But in recent months the Australian has faced multiple calls to step down, with several leading gymnasts claiming a “culture of fear” existed at the national centre in Lilleshall.
