ABSTRACT
<abstract>Chapter 8 raises awareness of poor practice which ‘crosses lines’ in terms of what may be deemed morally and/or legally acceptable within sport. In particular, this chapter content focuses on abuse and exploitation in the coach–athlete relationship, drawing attention to physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Following the discussions of the types of abuse, the content changes focus slightly to discuss how fears of false accusations are also impacting upon some coaches’ practice.</abstract>
