French 5,000m record holder Jimmy Gressier targeted by an investigation for sexual harassment of an athlete. The runner is accused of sexual harassment by an athlete, who did not file a complaint.

The French athletics federation and Insep which runs the French national athletics federation are investigating. Claire Palou will then discuss the sexual harassment she allegedly suffered from Gressedier, after the two athletes had a very short relationship. Although Palou has not filed any complaint against the founder, the two authorities are triggering procedures: an internal investigation and a disciplinary procedure at the FFA.
