CBC Sports: ‘2 Bluewater Survivors’ say they were re-victimized by Gymnastics Canada probe

Abby Spadafora learned to smuggle food early in her gymnastics career.

If her well-meaning parents packed her granola bars for a trip, Spadafora would bury them deep in her suitcase like contraband, since they weren't permitted on the strict diet she said her coaches Dave and Elizabeth Brubaker had her following from the age of 13.

"I wasn't a big eater, but yeah, you learned quickly how to hide food," she said. "You would always be starving."
