Did Annick Dumont ignore the accusations of a former skater who had told her about inappropriate movements by Gilles Beyer? Agnès Tavernier-Gosselin, ex-junior and senior French champion, told the Obs on Tuesday that she had been the victim of inappropriate movements by the trainer ("hands on the buttocks, on the chest"), which she knew at Insep (or Dumont was his choreographer) and Champigny. The former skater says she informed Annick Dumont, who advised her to be quiet so as not to ruin her career.
In an interview with L'Equipe , the former wife of Gilles Beyer and Didier Gailhaguet denied the accusations en bloc. “I have been looking for a long time to divorce Gilles Beyer. If, at that time, I had been informed of such acts on his part, I would have immediately seized this opportunity. It was deep hatred between us. I could not miss such a revelation which would also have helped me in my procedure. "
Annick Dumont also says that he never heard of the rape charges against Beyer. I didn't think there was a problem of this magnitude. “I always took him for a big, clumsy flirt with a big chat and a huge ego. And it was a bar pillar. Everyone liked to drink with him. There is a real alcohol problem in our sport. "
