In SVT Sports' review of the national sports high school for water skiing and wakeboarding, students testify about misconduct that has been going on for almost 20 years.

In the summer of 2020, the education closed with immediate effect after previous students contacted RF's whistleblower service. 

- I was sitting in my office working, so I got a call from RF's whistleblower service.

And this person told two stories and they contain a lot of completely unacceptable ingredients, says Ulla Pietarinen, principal at Brinellskolan. 

Has been around for two years

The whistleblower service has been around since 2018. It was the athlete Moa Hjelmer's story that she was sexually exploited by a coach that was the starting shot.  

The Swedish Sports Confederation, RF, appointed an investigation that led to the service starting. 

- We saw that there were parts of the business that did not follow the values ​​of sport.

Since parts of the sport's values ​​stand for democracy, community and participation, it may be that there are obstacles within the association's activities to raise dissatisfaction or raise inconveniences.

Then this was a way to create a possible way to get there, says Peter Mattsson. 

RF hired two people to investigate the cases and the first year the service received about 200 calls. 

- The most serious cases are where children can in some way be really bad or who are in a vulnerable situation and then it is really important to act, says Mattsson. 

"It is not enough"

After Ulla Pietarinen was informed about the alarms to the whistleblower service, she decided to close down the national sports high school in Fagersta.

- After I had listened to this and communicated with the person, I felt that this is not possible, it is not enough to be a Swedish school. 

Anyone can contact the whistleblower service and you have the opportunity to remain anonymous.
