Gabriela DeBues-Stafford made her feelings known about the report that came out about her former coach, Andrew Young, by UK Athletics. The Canadian athlete trained under Young from 2018 to 2020.Two independent UK Athletics disciplinary panels reviewed Young's conduct, stating that he was involved in serious misconduct, which is far below the UKA coaching standards. He was accused of 33 charges by the panel, who also upheld 9 charges, including 7 serious ones.Among many accusations, one of them was of him rashly driving with an athlete after a disagreement and then leaving them on the roadside. Along with this, there were claims about him criticizing athletes for raising injury concerns and forcing the athletes to compete or train despite physiotherapists advising the opposite.Shortly after these reports, Stafford shared a statement on her Instagram handle, revealing that she was also approached by the panels. Calling the process 'frustrating,' she said:"Hi, I have been getting some questions about the news that came out today. I will keep comments brief: Yes, I was approached by this investigation in Autum 2022. Yes, my testimony related to some of the Findings and Charges, multiple of which were accepted by the Panel. The whole hearing process and its aftermath felt dehumanizing and frustrating," wrote Gabriela DeBues-Stafford."I feel grateful to have been able to support my fellow temmates by participating. I look forward to providing feedback to UKA and UK Sport on how to be better support athletes in the future. I will not be commenting further for the time being."
