Spanish gymnastic coach Jesus Carballo suspended over ‘bad treatment’

Spain’s longtimes artistic gymnastics coach, Jesus Carballo Garcia, has been suspended following allegations from a former gymnast over “bad treatment” when she was under his guidance during the 1980s.

The decision was taken after an investigation carried out by the Superior Council of Sports (CSD), ruled that Garcia would be refused entry to the team’s training centre after an unnamed gymnast went to the Spanish authorities with her complaints.
“The CSD have taken the decision to refuse Jesus Carballo access to the the team’s training centre after learning of the complaints against him from a former gymnast over bad treatment,” a CSD spokesman said. “The case has been handed to the police and we must now wait for the conclusions,”  wrote AFP.
