French govt. backs resignation of under-fire ice sports federation chief Spokesperson Sibeth N'Diaye said the French government "obviously" supports calls for the resignation of Didier Gailhaguet, the president of France's ice sports federation (FFSG). Gailhaguet is under fire after retired figure skater Sarah Abitbol accused her former coach, Gilles Beyer, of raping her several times from 1990 to 1992 when she was between the ages of 15 and 17. It has been shown that Gailhaguet was aware of complaints of inappropriate behaviour against Beyer, although the FFSG president failed to take action. \\n"He obviously has a moral responsibility," added N'Diaye.
