PYEONGCHANG, South Korea: Prince Faisal of Jordan says the fight against harassment and sexual abuse in sports should share equal footing with work to prevent doping.
An International Olympic Committee member, Faisal leads an effort by the body to protect athletes, many of whom come from countries that offer few safeguards.
Speaking to a small group of reporters, Faisal says protecting athletes from sexual abuse and harassment “should be equal to doping, though not many people see that right now.”
Faisal says the sexual abuse scandal involving former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar illustrates how little protection athletes have.
Faisal says the International Olympic Committee has begun monitoring federations and national Olympic committees “to make sure they have regulations and procedures in place.”
