Without athletes and journalists highlighting issues in elite sport, it would all be ignored in favour of medals, money and fame.
Sport and those who run it, cannot regulate their behaviours and can no longer be expected to.
The status quo does nothing to advance performance
Pleased I responded to the DCMS Call forEvidence on misconduct, harassment, bullying, & discrimination @BritAthletics! Medals mask systemic cultural issues which have never been tackled! No hand to play in any departure but a review should be conducted on itsorganisational health

At the 1928 Olympics, women ran the 800m for the 1st time.
After the race, reporters wrote stories of women collapsing in utter exhaustion with half the field dropping out
None of that occurred
The 800 was eliminated for 32 years. Stories are powerful.

Now that I'm looking through a different lense, I've suddenly noticed quite a few athlete posts apologising for a bad performance.
Honestly, 99% of us are really impressed that you're out there giving it your best. Only the inside few are scrutinizing every result.

What runs from @elliscross96 and @EilishMccolgan today @London10K. Fantastic performances! Personally very happy to finally get my 2022 season off and running with a 4th place 29m10 and new British record V40. However the coach behind the record doesn’t change! Alan storey
