Abuse allegations deeply concerning, says NZ govt

WELLINGTON: New Zealand's Sports Minister Grant Robertson has called allegations of psychological and physical abuse in gymnastics in the country"deeply concerning" and urged any athletes affected and their parents to come forward.

Gymnastics New Zealand Chief Executive Tony Compier told Radio New Zealand on Monday that he had been unaware of any such impact on gymnasts who had spoken out, and he defended his organisation's investigation processes. "I would like to acknowledge the courage of those who have stepped forward," he said in a statement on Monday.
