Starved Thirsty Body Shamed & Punished -Abuse Epidemic in British Gymnastics
Starved Thirsty Body Shamed and Punished in an Epidemic of Abuse in British Gymnastics
Whyte Review reveals abusive culture as young people 'starved, body shamed and punished'
While 30 sexual abuse allegations were made as part of the UK investigation, the vast majority of complaints focused on physical and emotional abuse.

The Whyte Review, which examined more than 400 complaints, uncovered an "unacceptable culture" in British Gymnastics which has left countless young people "humiliated."
The report revealed coaches publicly shamed young girls - and in some instances had them hanging on the rings in the gyms for prolonged periods of time for being late.
Another young athlete was forced to balance on a beam for two hours as punishment.
