PARIS - French ice sports federation president Didier Gailhaguet resigned from his position on Saturday amid the sexual abuse scandal in figure skating.
“I have taken with dignity, and without any bitterness despite the injustice, the wise decision to resign,” Gailhaguet told reporters after a board meeting. Former figure skater Sarah Abitbol, a bronze medalist with partner Stephane Bernadis at the 2000 world championships, recently published a book in which she said Beyer had raped her multiple times from 1990 to 1992.
The inquiry showed that in 1999 Beyer went to an underage skater’s bedroom during a training camp and ‘put his hand behind the young girl’s neck, pulled her toward him and asked, ‘Do you want me to kiss you or do you want me to go’.”
