Eh… I mean, there are four formal complaints, a case opened with the Gendarmerie, at least six others corroborating overt sexual abuse upon other harmful behavior. He’s not some creepy guy at the bar, he is their manager and directly in charge of their career. It mostly seems that you just don’t want a pretty cut and dry case to have severe repercussions because potentially there are other cases without merit that will lead to severe consequences. This is not one of those later cases.
One single piece of only one of the numerous complaints, "“He was very touchy, always wanting hugs before I would go to bed. They were not friendly hugs; they were way too touchy. He would kiss me a lot on the forehead and even ask me to kiss him. This is where I think he uses his power over the riders because he knows we are all there on an opportunity to race for a UCI professional team. He would always make deals to put me on the roster. I would ask to race a specific race, and he would say, ‘We’ll see.’ There was this race where he put my name on the roster, working on his computer, and he said, ‘Come and see: I put your name on the roster. Now give me a kiss.’”
And the guy basically admitting to his behavior when asked by a journalist, "When Cyclingnews asked Van Gansen if he could point to a scenario that Meisels might deem as being inappropriate behaviour on his part, he highlighted one instance that took place inside the home.
“Yes, I can imagine what she is referring to,” Van Gansen wrote. "At a certain moment, she came down from her room in a very short pant and with a shirt knocked up under her breasts with naked belly. She came standing like that before my desk and asking me some things.
"After answering her questions I told her: ‘Esther, it’s very sexy what you are wearing, but it’s maybe too sexy, I could get something from it, who knows?’
“On this, she reacted: ‘Patrick, you make me feel very uncomfortable saying this, you do this all the time.’ Me: ‘Oh yes I do this all the time?’ She: ‘Yes last week you mentioned about my nice pants and I don’t like this.’ Me: ‘Than maybe go dress yourself properly now!’”"
So really, what facts are you claiming we all don’t know?
