MANCHESTER, England: British Gymnastics will conduct an independent review of allegations of abuse and bullying in the sport, the governing body said on Tuesday.

The announcement by British Gymnastics came after the British Athletes Commission , which represents the country's Olympic and Paralympic athletes, called for an investigation of the allegations. "The British Gymnastics Integrity Unit is set up to investigate all allegations when reported or identified by our national network of club and regional Welfare Officers.“However, it is clear that gymnasts did not feel they could raise their concerns to British Gymnastics and it is vital that an Independent Review helps us better understand why so we can remove any barriers as quickly as possible.

The BAC had urged a full investigation of the allegations after British Gymnastics originally called for gymnasts to contact their Integrity Unit.
