 Scheduled at the Paris Olympics, Dutch beach volleyball player Steven van der Velde, sentenced to prison in Britain years ago for having sex with an underage girl. The Dutch Olympic Committee said he met the conditions to return. International Olympic Committee's Mark Adams. We have our own safeguarding as well. I believe the offence was ten years ago, which is not to excuse it in any way whatsoever, but there is some pretty heavy-duty safeguarding going on. I also believe that the athlete is not staying in the village.
