BERLIN (AP) — Former Olympic diver Jan Hempel has accused the German swimming federation of failing to heed his complaints of being sexually abused for years…
Hempel first made his allegations against Langer in a documentary called “Abused — Sexual Abuse in German Swimming” aired by public broadcaster ARD on Thursday. It also documented other former swimmers’ allegations of abuse by unnamed coaches across the sport.
Hempel said Langer’s abuse continued regularly until he defended himself for the first time before the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. A year later, he said he informed German national team coach Ursula Klinger. Langer was suspended, not because of the abuse, but rather due to an alleged Stasi past, Hempel said.The DSV also said it was suspending national diving coach Lutz Buschkow, whom Hempel said was aware of Langer’s abuse.
