Here’s a translation:
“Earlier, the French figure skating coach and 2007 world champion were accused of violence. The Disciplinary Committee of the French Ice Sports Federation considered Joubert’s case on November 10.
The investigation report mentions numerous accusations against the coach: inappropriate behavior, being at work under the influence, sarcastic comments towards students.
He is also suspected of engaging in sexual relationships with a minor.
One of the coach’s former students, who chose to remain anonymous reported his “crazy anger and cruel treatment.” Other witnesses claim that Joubert shouted at his students, could push and hit them, and even kick them out from the rink.
Joubert claims that the allegations against him are fabricated.
L’Equipe quotes Joubert’s words from August: “I’m not saying I’m perfect, but I do everything I can, I give 200% for the kids. We can no longer train as it was in my time, and I know I’ll have to raise my voice less.”
A decision on the former figure skater’s case is expected within 15 days.”
