A Landmark Case in Sport

BBC World Service - Sportshour, A Landmark Case in Sport

We speak to Katherine Starr about how sports governing bodies can tackle sexual assault

A rower with limited experience trying to break a world record, can the Reggae Rollers bring bowling success to Jamaica and the coach who quite the Premier League for Scandinavia.

Former Team USA gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar was jailed for 175 years, after he was convicted of multiple counts of sexual assault. We speak to Katherine Starr who created Safe 4 Athletes, an organisation protecting athlete welfare, who says the first gymnast came to her to report sexual abuse in US Gymnastics.

Kiko Matthews will try to break the world record for rowing solo across the Atlantic, despite having little or no experience in a boat. She will be raising money for Kings College Hospital in London, to say thank you for the treatment she received for a rare and life threatening condition: Cushing Disease. And we speak to the Reggae Rollers, Jamaica's first ever lawn bowls team.
