Besides the structure and the policy, I think it's incredibly important to pay attention to the broader culture that allows for these individuals to exploit children. I think, in fencing specifically, and in other sports, there is generally a level of tolerance of maltreatment and abuse, because those individuals get results. I think that's unacceptable, and I think that's something that's going to require a systemic change beyond policy. It's going to take an entire framework shift in how we approach sports.
