“A Truly Heartbreaking Watch”
UK Athletics CEO Joanna Coates has released a statement in response to this documentary.
It is a truly heartbreaking watch.
I want to thank Charlie Webster and others for their bravery in coming forward and sharing their stories.
I have been clear since I took over as CEO of UK Athletics, everybody must feel safe to come forward and tell us what is going on. If they don’t then we will have failed.
Everybody must know they’ll be listened to and the information they provide used in the right way. They will be treated respectfully and supported properly as individuals.
