'In the spirit of conciliation, I took the sensible decision to resign with dignity but no bitterness' – Didier Gailhaguet
Former French Ice Sports Federation President Didier Gailhaguet announces his resignation to the press on February 8, 2020.
In an autobiography published on January 30, former world championship bronze medallist Sarah Abitbol accused a former national coach Gilles Beyer of raping her several times from 1990 to 1992 when she was between the ages of 15 and 17.Skater Helene Godard accused Beyer, 62, and another coach, Jean-Roland Racle, of sexual abuse when she was a minor.
In his resignation address to reporters, he denounced "the ministerial dictatorship and in particular the shameful threat of withdrawing support" from the federation made by Maracineanu. Under Gailhaguet's watch, Beyer, already Abitbol's coach, took over as manager of the French national team.
