British athletes competing at this year's Tokyo Olympics will be able to report concerns of physical or psychological abuse through an independent hotline service, British Olympic Association chief executive Andy Anson said.

This move comes after 17 former gymnasts in the United Kingdom last month launched a group-claim lawsuit against the national governing body British Gymnastics alleging a range of abusive behaviour.The group, which includes three Olympians, served a"Letter of Claim" on the body, alleging physical and psychological abuse from coaches.

"This would not be their line manager but someone outside the line. It can't be someone in our line management structure."
