The German Swimming Federation (DSV) suspended coach Stefan Lurz indefinitely after several of the athletes who were under his orders accused him of sexual harassment.
The magazine 'Der Spiegel', which brought the case to light, returns on the subject in its edition this weekend and collects testimonies from five swimmers.
A swimmer claims that the coach grabbed her breasts and crotch and urged her to touch him while he masturbated.
Another received photos showing a penis and nude photos.
Lurz, in addition, would have taken photos of her pupils in a bathing suit and would have asked them to exhibit erotic poses.
The magazine claims to have erotic messages sent by Lurz to underage swimmers.
Lurz reacted to the new accusations that have been persecuting him for ten years and declared that "they are not more substantiated nor do they become true even though they are constantly repeated. I will not give information about my private contacts."
'Der Spiegel' claims to have had access to an email in which a swimmer reports sexual harassment by Lurz to the DSV and mentions four other cases, mentioning the names of the affected swimmers.
