Sex abuse claims could affect Olympic team

Austria’s skiing federation (OSV) president warned on Sunday that allegations of sexual abuse by former skiers against a retired coach could hurt the current Olympic team in Pyeongchang.

If the allegations are proven, “an apology will clearly be necessary” Peter Schrocksnadel told Austrian public television ORF from South Korea, where the Winter Olympics are being held.

Schrocksnadel said he feared the impact the allegations could have on Austria’s women skiers.
