Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Slalom: French Film highlights abuse scandals in mountain sport

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Picked this up in the papers today:

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-56018208
https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/feb/13/slalom-review-charlene-favier-teenage-skier

Quote:
A film that fictionalises the sexual abuse a teenager suffers at the hands of her skiing coach was only possible thanks to the #MeToo movement, its director says.

Slalom, set in a competitive ski club in the French Alps, is Charlène Favier's first feature film. French actress Noée Abita plays Lyz, a 15-year-old girl who is accepted into a ski club that trains professional athletes up to an Olympic standard. She is groomed by her coach, Fred, played by In Bruges actor Jérémie Renier


Slalom is on release on Curzon Home Cinema.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Fiction. I think Charlène Favier was a junior racer and says this is not biographical, but does draw on experiences she was aware of coming through the junior racer pathway, and since leaving it.

France is currently in the middle of a paedo sexual abuse scandal that goes to the very heart of the liberal elite. Sexual abusein sport is just the visible part of the iceberg.

No pizzas involved though - *they* use a bakery as a front. Or maybe a Decathlon sport shop.

@abc, there is a certain category of left wing intellectual who see pedophilia and incest as an expression of freedom. From Frederic Mitterand, to Daniel Cohen Bendit and currently Olivier Duhamel. Then there are their fellow travelers, who know about what is going on but do nothing to stop it out of fear of the repercussions for their own careers or of upsetting powerful people. It is a tangled web. In the UK there was a similar viewpoint, PIE for example, was supported by Labour politicians Harriet Harman, Jack Dromey and Patricia Hewitt back in the 1970s. Other times, other manners perhaps.

Olivier Duhamel (a king maker at the elite Science Po Paris university and former socialist party MEP) was abusing his step son Victor Kouchner, the actual son of Bernard Kouchner (former foreign affairs minister of France) and Évelyne Pisier (Kouchner's ex wife). Pisier told her sister, Marie-France Pisier who was outraged that her sister was covering up for Duhamel. Marie-France Pisier told her close friend Élisabeth Guigou (ex Minister and MEP) - Gigou was once touted to be a Presidential candidate for the socialist party. She was head of the Quango dealing with Incest (Commission indépendante sur l'inceste et les violences sexuelles faites aux enfants) but when informed of an incestuous affair by Pisier did nothing, she covered it up. Shortly afterwards Marie-France Pisier was found dead at the bottom of her swimming pool. No water was found in her lungs and the police have never ruled out murder. While investigating the death they came across the Duhamel affair but no action was taken.

The affair has just cost Gigou cost her her cushy job. Who else knew? Frédéric Mion, director of Science Po Paris - he dined with ex minister and left wing feminist Aurélie Filippetti and François Hollande (ex Socialist President of France) in 2018 where he told them what had been going on with Duhamel. The day after the Duhamel affair broke in 2021 he called Filippetti and told her "no one must know that we knew about this". Mion also spoke to Marc Guillaume, ex secretary of State and current Prefect of Paris. Guillaume claims that Mion wasn't specific enough in his accusations to take any action. Marc Guillaume was also on the board of Science Po with Duhamel. Mion contacted Jean Veil, son of the celebrated Simone Veil and Duhamel's lawyer "nothing in this story, complete rubbish" Veil told him. So Mion dropped any further action without verifying any further. Duhamel was also at Macron's victory celebrations.

So we have an affair of incest against a minor which was known about by the person heading the Quango supposed to combat this kind of abuse as well as 1 ex President, The (now ex) head of Science Po. Two ministers, the Prefect of Paris, the son of Simone Veil and touches the current French President (difficult to imagine he hadn't heard of it). All on the left of French politics.

Sports abuse is small potatoes... the fish rots from the head down.
