Allegations of sexism, homophobia and racism within the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU), according to the chair of a sporting body, were outlined in a documentary and will be looked at by an inquiry
A"bigger discussion" is needed in British sport following allegations of sexism, homophobia and racism within the Welsh Rugby Union , according to the chair of a sporting body., was giving evidence to a Senedd committee on Wednesday morning.
The WRU was the subject of a BBC Wales Investigates programme in January which revealed accusations of sexism, misogyny, homophobia and racism within the organisation.Speaking to the committee, Baroness Grey-Thompson said:"I think this is a bigger discussion for the whole of the home countries and British sport in terms of where we are.
"Sport is held up at its best as absolutely amazing and incredible in terms of what it can do but it's also a microcosm for society and the challenges that are there. "If there's one thing that comes out of this is that actually it sends a really strong message out to the other sport governing bodies and what's happening with the WRU has reverberated to the other home countries and to other national bodies that we all have to do something to look at the culture and the -isms that are around in sport."
