Manage episode 280783281 series 2844580
"Not every coach is a pedophile, but every pedophile wants to be a coach."
For the Paris Olympics, a re-issue of an extraordinary interview with the great Nancy Hogshead about the silent plague in sports.
There is rampant sexual, physical and mental abuse of athletes across sports, countries and cultures.
Very few people speak about it. They want to pretend that our young people are safe in a glamorous sports world, when the truth is often the opposite.
One person has led the fight to stop this appalling behaviour - Nancy Hogshead.
She is a fighter. A triple Olympic gold medalist, who has spent her career battling to protect athletes.
If you are an athlete, know an athlete, or are the parent of an athlete - this is a shocking story.
WARNING: This episode contains references to sexual abuse.
