Accusations of “violence” against Brian Joubert. The former figure skating world champion is the target of several investigations for “violence” within his club, including one from the French Federation of Ice Sports (FFSG), according to Obs informationwhich we are able to confirm.

The now coach at the “Brian Joubert Poitiers Club” is targeted for several reports for “acts of violence”. According to our information, there has already been a report to the prosecutor. “We seized the disciplinary commission on Tuesday August 29”, announced Gwenaëlle Noury, president of the FFSG, to our colleagues from the Obs, adding that “several investigations are in progress, administrative and judicial”.

Brian Joubert denies the charges

Several traumatic attitudes towards certain children are reproached to the former figure skating champion, such as “angry tantrums”, “denigrating words” and even “violent gestures”.

“These reports have arrived at the Signal-Sports cell, which is linked to the federation. The ministry is at the origin of the administrative investigation which is still in progress to gather enough elements and justify a possible administrative decision, in parallel with the legal procedure and the disciplinary procedure”, we are told from side of the ministry.

Brian Joubert denied all these accusations to our colleagues, and promised never “to have had any gestures” towards a child, even if he recognized some anger at the attitude of “super invested” parents. “.
