Following the statements of Clémentine Sarlat, ex-journalist of France Televisions who accused some of her former colleagues of harassment, the company of journalists of the sports service published this Sunday a press release that Le Figaro obtained. "Following the interview with Clémentine Sarlat published in the newspaper L'Equipe on Saturday, the society of journalists of the sports service condemns all forms of harassment and wishes to support those who may have been victims. Nothing can justify slippage, discrimination and harassment, whether moral or sexual. The SDJ welcomes the fact that speech is free and supports all speaking out in order to put an end to these intolerable practices, if they are proven. The editorial team thanks the Presidency for having opened an investigation in order to shed light on this affair. If there are reprehensible facts, let them be discovered and punished. The editorial team asks the Sports Department to take the full measure of the gravity of the situation. ”
However, the LDS wanted to regret "the numerous and violent attacks it has been the subject of since yesterday on social networks. Widespread and abject behavior, if confirmed, is unacceptable. ” And to add: “The shortcuts are easy. In this troubled period, some form of restraint and restraint on the part of all (colleagues included) would be desirable. This editorial team, now under attack and dirty, wants the whole truth to be made. May each and everyone work calmly, in what drives them on a daily basis: speaking and defending the values of sport, with respect for everyone, and in a peaceful environment. ”
