Gymnastics-FIG updates code of conduct to safeguard athletes

(Reuters) - The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) published a new code of conduct on Friday to drive a positive cultural change in the sport by safeguarding athletes against abuse and make amends for "years of bad practice".

The revised code, approved by the FIG's Executive Committee last week, will be effective immediately and has been broadened to include all aspects of training, competition, sporting operations and communication.
