Volleyball Australia Apologizes To Former Players For Abuse Over Many Years
A review of team culture by government agency Sport Integrity Australia (SIA) found that players of the women's indoor volleyball team in that period -- who were as young as 14 -- suffered physical and psychological abuse. Players reported living in an environment of fear where coaches with limited accountability instituted punitive training regimes and disregarded the advice from medical and performance staff, reports Xinhua.
"We are deeply sorry for the ongoing effects these experiences have had on your life, and your relationship with the sport of volleyball and with Volleyball Australia," VA said in a statement. "We acknowledge that the poor culture, coupled with absence from family and limited contact with family members, resulted in you experiencing a sense of isolation and vulnerability."
