TORONTO — A group of Canadian gymnasts who called for an independent investigation into their sport are “dismayed, but not surprised” in Gymnastics Canada’s…
McLaren Global Sport Solutions has been hired to analyze Gymnastics Canada’s national safe sport policies and procedures after dozens of current and former gymnasts wrote to Sport Canada claiming maltreatment amid a toxic culture in their sport.
The dozens of gymnasts who penned an open letter to Sport Canada in early April has since grown to over 550 signatories. As well, former gymnast Amelia Cline was the named plaintiff in a proposed class-action lawsuit against Gymnastics Canada and six provincial gymnastics federations. The proposed class of plaintiffs claim physical, sexual and/or psychological abuse while participating in programs delivered by those organizations dating back to 1978.
“The issue of systemic child abuse in gymnastics warrants the full attention of the Government and, in continuing to ignore our calls in this regard, it risks the perception of complicity alongside GymCan,” the gymnasts said. “The Heritage Standing Committee has ordered an independent investigation into the culture of Hockey Canada.
According to the 11, who trained out of Bluewater Gymnastics in Sarnia, Ont., a March 2021 disciplinary judgment found 54 counts of misconduct, including emotional, psychological, physical and sexual abuse, in the couple’s capacity as coaches over multiple years, up to and including the year of Dave Brubaker’s arrest in 2017.
They said GymCan’s response “bears striking similarities” to the strategy adopted by USA Gymnastics in the wake of the Larry Nassar scandal. Nassar, a U.S. gymnastics doctor, received a life sentence after accusations of sexual assault from hundreds of women.
