    Very good interview

    The questions in the interview are very to the point and bring out the full horror of this story.

    What fascinates me is that Sey, even now from an adult point of view, still regards a physician sending a girl back to the gym with a concussion or a freshly broken ankle as normal practice in this field, when the world at large would probably see this as malpractice.

    Hard to believe, but then she lived the life and has gone public with her allegations.
