More than a dozen other gymnasts have joined the lawsuit, which seeks class action status
Gymnastics Canada said in a statement that it had only learned of the lawsuit from media reports and had not yet been served.
“Although we have not been served, the allegations we have been made aware of in the claim describe behavior that is unacceptable in any sport environment, and we take them very seriously,” said Gymnastics Canada. “As leaders in the sport of Gymnastics within Canada, we are committed to providing a safe environment for members of our sport that is accessible, inclusive, respects our participants’ personal goals and is free from all forms of maltreatment.
In March, a group of more than 70 current and former Canadian gymnasts called for an independent investigation into what they described as a “toxic culture and abusive practices” within their sport.
