Britain's most prestigious rowing club, which has produced legions of Olympic champions over the last century, has been rocked by allegations it failed to investigate multiple claims of rape and sexual assault.
At least three male rowers are understood to have been accused of raping female club members within the last five years at the club in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.
The world-famous establishment is considered a 'global leader in rowing', according to Leander Club's website, which adds that members have secured 159 Olympic and Paralympic medals since 1908 - with 62 of these being gold.
The Telegraph reported a number of damning allegations including that one man raped a female squad member in 2022 and was allowed to continue rowing.
It was also claimed that a second man was suspended and then excluded following a harassment claim against him. He was readmitted on appeal and later accused of rape by a different female rower.
