SYDNEY: Swimming Australia has stood down its president Barclay Nettlefold over claims of inappropriate behaviour towards a female team consultant, an official said yesterday.
Board director and former Olympic swimmer Nicole Livingstone told reporters that Nettlefold would be the subject of a SA investigation into an alleged inappropriate comment made to the woman.
Livingstone said apart from the remark referred to in media reports on Saturday, there was a further allegation of inappropriate behaviour.
“The Swimming Australia board was provided with new information today about a separate allegation of inappropriate comments in addition to the one that has already been handled through our member welfare policy,” Livingstone told reporters in Melbourne. AFP
