DTB and Aimee Boorman Part Ways Early at Stuttgart Training Center

Prosecutors are investigating abuse allegations at DTB facilities, with inquiries reaching senior officials.

Overview

  • The federation said the cooperation in Stuttgart had not worked as required despite efforts from all sides.
  • The arrangement ends years ahead of a contract that had been extended in August 2025 to run through December 2028.
  • Boorman, who coached Simone Biles from 2005 to 2016, joined in March 2025 to help reset the center’s culture after abuse reports.
  • Probes cover alleged systemic physical and mental abuse at the Stuttgart and Mannheim sites, and name DTB president Alfons Hölzl and sport director Thomas Gutekunst; the DTB said it saw no grounds for immediate personnel action.
  • Stuttgart hosts the DTB-Pokal later this week, keeping attention on the venue.
