Roxana Maracineanu, the Minister of Sports returned this Wednesday morning to France 2 on her interview, last Monday, with Didier Gailhaguet, the president of the French Federation of Ice Sports (FFSG), suspected of having covered the actions of Gilles Beyer , one of the coaches accused of rape by several skaters including Sarah Abitbol.
