nice pedals really. they don't see any kind of fun. portland guide justine into sports indian fines and football installed. if you're keeping tional guys clue as long as the metals in money keep coming, they don't care. ah, we explored the issue of sexual abuse in several countries. and several sports trying to get to the root of the problem and saw them why, from governments to the io see, no one seems to be able to stop the terrible damage being inflicted on young people . ah, i i o our investigation begin in the seaside town of blackpool in the north of england. this is the home of

a former star of british june. the whole stuart was a premier league footballer and played for england. he had a successful career in o, waited a very long time before speaking up about what his coach did to him. one morning and late 2016 paul read an article in the guardian newspaper in which an x of foller andy woodward, described how he was abused by his coach as a boy. i think it's a little bit further in the story. if i upset him in any way, drop me from the team. any point tell me you will go and you will disappear and the

dream won't happen. i was frightened to death because he had complete power over me . by that stage, it was like a double whammy, and he would try to abuse me sometimes even when my sister is in the same house, it was just like reading my own story, but with somebody else somebody else's name and. and that really resonated with me if you well, really, really hit a strong note and i felt compelled to, to speak, cope me be ah, how was raped by his coach between the ages of 10 and 14. he took us to see the manchester suburb where he lived as a child,

the place where the abuse started back. then as soon as the school day ended, paul would spend all his time on the football pitch across the motorway, a few 100 yards from his home. that was where frank roper is. abuser 1st spotted him at the time roper was working as a talent scout. recruiting young, hopeful for a local club. what years to do is you used to play football games after school again. so the schools and then people like him was coming around and look for players. and he, he approach my dad because he was asking who the father was, the number 10 roper took paul and to his team. the assaults began a week later, paul was 10. the 1st time that he sexually abused me, he whispered in my head, that if i tell anyone he would kill my mom and dad and my brothers. and he also

said, this is what you have to do. if you want to be a football you can, you know, he's made he would sometimes beat me up the fingers. but because he say that my parents didn't love me. i used to take myself away. dreaming that i was playing at old trafford where lunches, united play or when wearing wouldn't play and it was my way of almost associated with so from what was actually happening all became withdrawn. his school marks went from bad to worse. he started refusing to go to school and spent a lot of time in his bedroom within lunch. a happy child. he had been was gone.

replaced by a silent teenager who clung doggedly to his dream of becoming a footballer. paul was sexually assaulted almost daily for 4 years, powerless to free himself from the hold. his coach had over him. this syndrome is familiar to sociology. this. the child is in an extremely weak position than the club is all powerful. the coaches are powerful, they will do as that told otherwise, they'll be out. and if you're a sports coach with, with some level of power and influence, then of course you have something to, to manipulate children with because they, they want your endorsement, they want your approval, they want your skills to train them. if you can offer them glory that they can dream about and if you can offer them success, that is something that they would respond to. then of course, you have an enormous power over them because that's too much at stake to,

to say no to your coach. so this produces a very conformist, very conservative attitude amongst them. sure boys where they will do as i told, and they will sacrifice whatever they need to sacrifice to make it into the team and to stay in the team. oh, kept quiet so as to stay on the team. but as he got older, he got stronger. late one afternoon when he was 14 roper was giving him a lift home from football practice in his car as usual. instead of taking him straight home, he parked in a secluded spot not far away. this was the place when, when just before i was 15 and that out of the sided enough was enough.

he made in advance to reach over to me and leaned over to me. i pushed him off, open the door, and just run and run from her home. and he never ever came back to the house again. after that i, i'd simply enjoyed enough, you know, for years for a long, long time to, to, to suffer on a daily basis what i was suffering. paul stuart is far from being an isolated case in the high level british sport, the united kingdom has witnessed the biggest sexual abuse scandal and sporting history. the one involving the most victims and abusers. it is still ongoing. in late 2016, over a period of several weeks shilling revelations,

of hundreds of cases of sexual abuse of young footballers were headline news. the scandal was unleashed by a newspaper article. the one that prompted paul stuart to speak out. david con, as a guardian reporter, he was one of the team of journalists who broke the story. in the article published on the 16th of november 2016 andi would word a 43 year old ex footballer who had played professionally at regional level revealed that he had been raped by his coach between the ages of 11 and 17th. it was obviously a very powerful interview with him, the woodward. but i don't think anybody realized than that it would release the floodgates of so many of the people coming forward me 4 days later. div walters another footballer, told how his coach had abused him. the following day, david white,

a former manchester city player, described how he had been abused by his coach. more and more victims came forward. in a single week, 6 footballers accused their former coaches in the fortnight after the initial article, 350 footballers spoke out the me, the nation was devastated by their stories. the police squad that dealt with pet ophelia cases was tasked with coordinating all the information. it took the investigators over a year and a half to produce an initial report. me . it's almost $3000.00 referrals that police had purely as a result of the initial sort of public story. the, and the woodward actually made around $300.00 suspects that were

identified. some were dead, some there wasn't sufficient evidence prosecute, but for many there was, and some of those trials are still ongoing. now. actually involve around about $350.00 football clubs. all levels of the game next. oh yes. or go 300 suspects. 350 clubs, 3000 referrals. the country reeled at the figures, but they came as no surprise to those who had been studying the problem for years. recall thinking when i 1st saw that as a game changer for some of those, i suppose it's it was almost what we'd been waiting for.

i i use, i was driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares thing. we dare to ask me.

oh i use one of the persian gulf, the wealthiest country is, has spent billions of dollars on state of the art stadiums. well, look at this stadium is really taking shape. you can see the bowl and most of the stands now, when we were here a little bit over a year ago,

at the same construction site, it was just a foundation and a few metal structures. so it seems that time why this idea to use shipping containers as building blocks has definitely paid off. i mean, they're easy to assemble and easy to dismantle, just like playing with lego the for the 1st time in the world cup. hey, st. 80 will be billed from shipping containers once more, it will be completely dismantled after the tournament. in my car to eliza sports sociologist, sexual abuse is specialist field. he is one of a dozen or so academics around the world. been trying to draw attention to the issue for years until the football scandal. no one wanted to know myself. if you don't feel like you stuck when that figure is all fit. dick savage,

i was like stacy activities and the while the decision you commit down per real close your shortest today pool of labor. you take several 1000 athletes in belgium and the netherlands to partner study published in 2015. 1 study about 4000 ex athletes. and they looked all forms of, of, of abuse. the, the headline finding was that just over 40 percent of the sample had experienced some form of sexual violence. 14 percent is about one in 7. the evidence suggests that one in 7 athletes under 18 be they, male or female experiences, sexual abuse, or the study use the term sexual abuse from the broad sense of the convention on the rights of the child to mean anything from indecent images to rate massive

deeply troubling, but also within that study, they found that athletes who were non heterosexual identified, their prefers rate was also higher. they found that athletes from a minority ethnic background, their prevalence rate was also higher. they found the athletes at the international level who performed the international level the, the premise rate for those athletes was, i think just a 30 percent. so considered be higher than the, the, the general sample. so simple unemployed study. in the 1st real robust study we've had in this, in this area with the breaker hall stewart reached the international level in his support level at which almost one athlete in 3 has experience sexual abuse in 19868 years after he found the strength to rebuff his coach, he fulfilled his dream. age 22. he signed

a 200000 pound contract to play for manchester city. one of the top british in the 198788 these and alone he scored 20 a gold london club. tottenham hotspur paid a fortune for him and in 1991. he scored a goal that one his team, the k come had fame, fortune and professional recognition. he moved to london with his wife, whom we had met 3 years earlier. their 1st child was born around then in magazine photographs. paul looked the happiest of men as if he had forgotten the 4 years of sexual abuse. but victory's agitation and well were not enough to heal the wounds. well, it didn't, and i told her in london, i was positive, i would say make somebody offered me

a tablet. i didn't really know what it was at the time, but it was x to say once i took the tablet, all of a sudden you for it was just like nothing i'd ever felt before much. and just maybe so happy. then i got hoped both to say, okay, i was just in such a self the stroke mode at the time the more drink more drugs had the more i needed to sometimes just know the pain after a year and rehab paul ended his career in football, he set up a small medical communications business and went back to live in black for with his wife and their 3 children. frank roper, his abuser,

was never brought to trial. he died of cancer in 2005. the police received allegations of abuse by rober from 31 victims all kept his secret for 42 years. why do most victims keep quiet about their abuse? the i in the suburbs of madrid, a former champion, gymnast described so sexual abuse, victim locked themselves into silence. glory of this heiress was an olympic gymnast. it was 36 years before she spoke

about her experience. i live and i have a hard it's new streaming this mail. you know and let me nick, feeling my hunger in the game. i was not allowed to look up. i just had to leave you down to the floor when i was given us. gloria stories starts with a little girl who love sport. got a big birthday, remind me. but you know i, i remember those were the happy days in the gym. i was really, really excited about how didn't i only saw about being in the gym and work. you know, you know,

when i moved out of the 1st you the local club, i went to the national training center and must have been 11, probably 10 or 11. i. i think i was just starting to train with, with the coach. the coach was his use car bio, the star of spanish him, now sticks. you know, he was very charming. he had been a very good gymnast. we felt very special that he paid attention to us. you know, then during the strange being started to happen, this was very subtle, very, very slow. he isolated us from the rest of the world. he would not allow us to speak with with the boys in the gym, but also with our brothers and sisters. and all of a sudden our parents are bad ones. he controlled what we controlled or sleeping. he

controlled everything, you know. so then he started giving us the massage. he used to be the 1st one getting to the gym in the afternoon. he would make me work. wait for him in the in the warm up room that was in the basement. right. it felt like my body was there, but i was not i was, i was dancing with carmen or the other ravel. and that's what i, what i did, i had to keep my mind busy with other stuff. i used to repeat in my mind my routine over and over and over and over and over again. just not to think

oh, i . busy her i monday and i cannot crying. so my father went after him to the locker room, and i could hear them screaming from outside. my father came out and he told me, you're not ever coming back here again. he never asked me. i never told him i thought this is going with me to my phrase, my secret some survivors of abuse will talk about how they didn't want to speak about what was happening because it wasn't just that

dream. it was their parents dream. and so for many survivors, it isn't often not until the parents of, of actually died that they're able to feel able to speak about the experiences they have. gloria is one such survivor. she waited until her father died to speak out. in 2012 aged 48, she reported the abuse to the police in the ins doing investigation. 14 people testified against his use car by several girls he coached alongside, gloria reported inappropriate touching some like i read. martinez agreed to testify publicly. others such as new dana, san jose, who married or bio, testified in his favor. the abuse had happened too long ago for a car bio to be tried. eventually, an agreement was reached with the spanish gymnastic federation, under which he seems to be a national coach. at the time, the chairman of the federation was none other than car bios own son. also

a former champion, gymnast, car bio always denied the abuse and still has the sizable fan following. he just told me that he loved me. so of course you had, you had this love hate relationship. he was your coach who took care of you and it is just so confusing. you don't you don't know what's going on. i felt responsible for what was happening to me if you t i sent ashamed. i thought i provoked it because i was pretty it so i was not going to turn my father that i was provoking that or anybody. you know, if somebody had asked me, i would have denied it and then i hinders her. she hadn't been going near shaft hut knocked him off my to position

when to have it's when done and stifled for that diesel pond, photos, food figure. when diesel walker dust dust own food to speech 15 it the home, they can no longer speaking. when she got here to start that surprising. we don't teach children from a young age what their rights are. if we did those kinds of things, we might start to erode the vulnerability that, that these children have. many factors make these crimes easy to commit. and hard to report in sporting context. the power the coach has over the athletes. the fact that they are used to paying a culture of obedient parental pressure, shame and dreams of glory. you might think sporting federations would do their utmost to protect their athletes and punish the perpetrators. but very often they

do just the opposite. some generations deliberately conceal abuse and protect abusers. the u. s. swimming federation is one of the worst example. the usa swimming federation, the powerful organization ah, of the 104 metals, one by the usa and the 2016 olympics. 33 were won by swimmers. this is the federation that produced, michael felt the athlete who currently holds the most olympic titled, with 28 metal. to his credit. it has almost 4 100000 members and an annual budget of over $40000000.00. the one man is responsible for the success chuck well guess who was executive director of usa swimming for 20 years. chuck longer

succeeded in turning a nonprofit sporting association into a highly profitable federation. and during the 20 years when he was executive director, he covered up numerous cases of sexual abuse. ah, i here with our annual summer solution where we know not on the problem, but on the solution these are the 4 people who pulled the trigger. survive something on survival for one of the hardest things that i had, the face was not having a face. i had a little patient that accepted accept the fact that i made that appointment. we had

no fears. del change pretty fast for shots. different stories behind the bullets the, i don't know, i mean there's some steps in there were rescuing the food that they were scabbing or, or where were rescuing resources that are still good. this is best buy march 21st, which is in 2 days. all of these potatoes, holler panels, onions, all of these came from waste round sources. the. this is great for me because i'm always looking for a way to give things away. dr. because the tax laws, you know, definitely do benefit the wealthier people in our society. so that makes sense for them to throw it out and write it off, rather than give it to somebody who could use it,

then that person is not going to buy it. the one of the persian gulf, the wealthiest country is, has spend billions of dollars on state of the art stadiums. wow. look at this, the stadium is really taking shape. you can see the bowl and most of the stands now, when we were here a little bit over a year ago, at the same construction site, it was just the foundation in a few metal structures. so it seems that time why this idea to use shipping containers as building blocks has definitely paid off. i mean, they're easy to assemble and easy through this mantle, just like playing with lego. the for the 1st time in a world cup hayes street, the stadium will be billed from shipping containers and what's more, it will be completely dismantled after the tournament.

i hope headline, a spring investigation reveal that a host of americans are richest billionaires are avoiding taxes. the u. s. revenue service seems much more concerned with finding out who actually leave that information. you a for back tracks on its previous full approval of ukraine's controversial 2020 kit saying the slogan of glory to the heroes must now be removed from the players. on the eve of the euro football tournament, the world health organization warns the 11 host nations to stay vigilant and prevent a repeat of a cope it up search seen last year. i just off at 7 pm here at moscow.
