Shocking photo reveals Australian swimming’s shame amid horrifying abuse claims

The allegations of a “degrading and abusive” culture comes after former Olympic medallist Maddie Groves announced her withdrawal from Australia’s Olympic selection trials, citing “misogynistic perverts” in the sport.

Incidents detailed by Dr McMahon include an 11-year-old forced to run 10km as punishment after a coach saw her eating ice cream; coaches making ‘oinking’ or pig noises at swimmers in reference to their weight; female swimmers being told they were “getting a lard arse”; and one swimmer being told by a coach to “get a boob reduction because your tits are too big”.

Many swimmers, she found, also opt not to report abuse to Swimming Australia due to a lack of faith in the organisation’s procedures – and also that some who had reported concerns had been ‘ostracised’.

No words!!!😡😡

But I though the special inquiry they were setting up was only going to consider harassed female athletes (?) I guess boys are just expected to 'man-up', stay silent and not derail the women-as-perpetual-victims choreography

Fake news!!! The mother of the swimmer clarified what was happening in the picture, and laid question at who was taking pics of her son, and kept them for years...

They need to do something. The Australian swimming team has become pathetic group of entitled young people who couldn't win a root in a brothel

How would go and get F...... go down with that excuse for a 'coach'.
