Dr. Margo Mountjoy, one of Canada's highest ranking
international sports representatives, with an impressive resume
that includes being a member of the IOC Medical Commission Games
Group, WADA Health Medicine and Research Committee Group, FINA
Bureau and the Chairman of ASOIF Medical Consultative Group, has
recently led a group of world leaders in sports in researching and
authoring the
IOC Consensus Statement: harassment and abuse (non-accidental
violence) in sport.
The IOC Consensus Statement extends the 2007 IOC Consensus
Statement on Sexual Harassment and Abuse in Sport. The IOC
Consensus Statement assesses evidence and the impact of other types
of abuse and harassment – psychological, physical and neglect
– delivered by various means, such as traditional and
cyber-based methods. The IOC Consensus Statement analyzes abuse and
harassment by not only coaches, but by athlete entourage members
and peer athletes.
