The State Sports Association of Baden-Württemberg (LSVBW) is examining allegations of sexual violence against female athletes.
As the LSVBW announced, there is suspicion of a trainer employed by the association and other people outside the association.
The necessary measures for clarification have already been initiated.
The LSVBW is currently unable to provide any further information to protect all those affected.
In the notification, the LSVBW condemned all forms of violence.
"It is clear to us that we have to react immediately if such a charge is brought to us," said LSVBW President Elvira Menzer-Haasis: Abuse in sport obliges to offer people a safe and positive space for protection, learning and support. We will keep this promise. "
