Those? Is there more we don't know about?and the french team tour was announced today and it looks like j/c are headliners. this is all so terrible for those victimized by him
I don't know what exactly was announced today, but I saw a tweet with what looked like an official poster almost two weeks ago, before the news came out.and the french team tour was announced today and it looks like j/c are headliners. this is all so terrible for those victimized by him

Agreed.I believe French skaters are obligated to do these tours. The FFSG should not be putting them in this position.
That's the lineup I saw a couple of weeks ago. I guess the ad is new, and I assume the skaters have been strongly encouraged to post it...SandraMGfan posted this link in the French news thread (the trailer includes a glimpse of J/C)

Nobody encouraged me but I shared it on FB. French skaters aren't responsible for Cipres' behavior and they need to work in order to make some money. Some of them even needs it desperately to pay for their training and coaching fees. It's obviously not the case for some others who shared it but I assume they do/did it out of solidarity for the less successful.That's the lineup I saw a couple of weeks ago.

Of course they're not responsible! My concern is that the federation may be putting them in a difficult position.Nobody encouraged me but I shared it on FB.

Good idea to get oldies to join as all together it makes for a cool lineup. Surya, Marie-Pierre Leray, Dyrt/Bonheur... in addition to P&C, Aymoz and Brian as a presenter. They had put more thought into it than usual.Nobody encouraged me but I shared it on FB. French skaters aren't responsible for Cipres' behavior and they need to work in order to make some money.

Excellent job!Here, Didier, let me fix it for you until an actual PR professional can step in:
The French Federation of Ice Sports (FFSG) has been made aware of the allegations aired by a journalist at the daily publication USA TODAY.
These allegations are deeply troubling. There is no place in sports for abusive behavior towards fellow athletes, especially not those who are young and vulnerable. Our obligation as a federation is to ensure a safe training and competitive environment for all our skaters. We expect the skaters and coaches affiliated with us to adhere to this standard.
We will support the investigation and trust that it is being conducted professionally and appropriately. Given the confidential nature of this process, we cannot comment at this time regarding any specific allegations.
You had respect for Didier before this?Totally lost respect to these lo life people. EWWWW
this is my concern, as well. but moreso that all of this coming out right now must be so painful for those victimized by cipres(and to answer @escaflowne928es above i don't have any further information but want to make space for the possibility that there may be others)Of course they're not responsible! My concern is that the federation may be putting them in a difficult position.
Those? Is there more we don't know about?
This is a minor thing but as a side note: the press release says 'Sysley Chapel' and 'Zimmermann' even though Zimmerman is coaching in Wesley Chapel.I just can't..how stupid and ignorant can a federation be!
Cipres/FFGS Press Release on the situation 12-16-2019
The French Federation of Ice Sports (FFSG) has been made aware of the allegations aired by a journalist at the daily publication USA TODAY. A journalist who is well known throughout the skating world for scandalrelated articles, in this particular case a photograph of an inappropriate nature is said to have been sent to a young female skater by Morgan Ciprès.
The FFSG has noted that the media attack has been particularly intense in its targeting of two trainers of Mr Ciprès in Sysley Chapel (Florida) : Ms Silvia Fontana and her husband Mr John Zimmermann whose results, both on the American and international stage, have attracted great admiration, as well as against a third trainer, Mr Vinny Dispenza.
Without wishing to excuse any act should it turn out to be true, the FFSG points out that it would appear to date from November 2017, and that there has been no related complaint made to the relevant authorities in the USA against Morgan Ciprès. The FFSG has therefore asked the skater in question to keep it up to date with any pertinent developments. In light of the information at its disposal, the FFSG has no cause not to place its confidence in him.
I have a very stupid question... Why is everybody calling him by his first name ? I know the spelling of Gailhaguet isn't easy. But to me calling someone by first name is rather affectionate. Hence him certainly not being someone I want to call by his first name
French spelling was invented by a sadist. And of course the word sadist was also named for a French person.I have a very stupid question... Why is everybody calling him by his first name ?

That is also my understanding.I am not talking about police reports. I am talking about actual charges filed by the DA/prosecutor in court. Yes a judge can seal these for good reasons - such as wanting to charge a big ring of people at the same time.
Here’s an example at the Federal level: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/doz...dictments-dc-docket-mueller/story?id=59249030
You have GOT to be kidding me! What world are people living in? Well probably the same world where Prince Andrew is invited to the Castle for Christmas for the holiday.and the french team tour was announced today and it looks like j/c are headliners. this is all so terrible for those victimized by him
Not actually...Maybe because I learned it as a 2nd language I find it logical and easier than English.French spelling was invented by a sadist. And of course the word sadist was also named for a French person.
There is some American bashing going on in the LÉquipe comment section. On the other hand, the statement does not articulate that a child is involved, a big information gap
That is also my understanding.
I was responding to a couple of posts. One asserted that she had filed a police report. And another said she had but it was sealed. I don't think a police report can be sealed.
there are only two articles in that publication, last week (without comment section) and yesterday's with the federation's statement. the last has only 8 comments.
one said "good that fed supports their athletes", another one "addresses the incident", another "a joke about his residence", few general ones "what is the sport coming to", another one is about "this journalist, brennan". Only two relevant to "american" - one jokes "what a way to get rid of competitors" and the other one objects "US pairs are not their competitors. Other foreigners train in USA without scandals".
... i would not call it american-bashing. in other publications there was a short discussion on "cultural differences" and "how harmful could it be just seeing a picture, it's part of the anatomy that's all".. but no bashing.
Well, sometimes it all gets away fro me. I hope I at least said I "thought" you were incorrect. My apologies if I did not.Actually, you said that I was incorrect and didn’t refer to any other posters, but glad we agree about sealed charges.
