This is shameful. Did she just compared doping to child abuse? Terrible
She did
First and foremost, you totally misunderstood her. I believe forgiveness was at the heart of the message she was passing across.
Secondly, She asked several questions in this short clip which you never picked up on but just decided to attack her!
Lastly, why are the sports authorities allowing him to compete?
@@ao4514
She doesn't have the right to forgive him.
@@DavidBritton-nl1wv Why not?
We all have the right to forgive as members of the public because the Olympics is a public sport. However, it's our individual right as to whether we choose to forgive him as an offender or not!
@@ao4514You're missing the point. The only person's forgiveness that matters is the victim's. Scratching my head on why forgiving a child grapist should even be a discussion tbh.
Denying someone the opportunity to represent their country at the Olympics is the least that should be done in this case.
Would she be so forgiving if it was her daughter?
We all know the answer too that
She's obviously never suffered any kind of this abuse otherwise she would know that his 12 year old victim is serving a life sentence because of this animal.
Exactly
Probably not -- but of course that is not relevant.
She has a reasonable argument whether or not you agree with it.
Nope
Oh, I think she might be confused, he wasn’t caught
with some cannabis. He didn’t shoplift from his local co-op he didn’t get in a fight in a park and end up hitting a police officer.
He R word a child, that’s what he did
This is sick. He spent 1 year in prison. He served no time, given his crimes.
To clarify. He served 1 year in UK jail and only 1 month in the Netherlands of a 4 year sentence he was convicted of. The Netherlands essentially let him go free.
The 12 year old is paying for it for the rest of her life….i don’t see why he should be allowed to move on.
Hurting yourself by taking drugs is not the same as when you hurt others by your actions. There should be a clear distinction between the two.
She would know....
Well, you’re hurting your competitors if you take drugs to improve your performance but I take the point.
@@edmanning274but all the competitors are on drugs as well, come on don’t be so naive to that
Yeah, he didn't cheat at sports, ffs. This woman is daft
@@christiansimmons630 there’s drugs and there’s drugs. ALL the competitions are most certainly not on drugs.
No no no. If he did this to a little girl. He’s ruined her life forever. Does not deserve a free pass. 19 yrs & little one 12. Give me a a break. Who knows when will offend. 🤢
I respect how elegant you put this. I was so mad when I used it a few F bombs came out.
I actually think anyone who tries to defend or excuse this behaviour is no better than the offender. How they could say that is beyond me
She's not excusing it though, is she. She's arguing that he's been punished for his crime and should be given a chance to rebuild his life. Its a difficult one, I'm not actually sure of my position on this, but she's not excusing what he did.
@@lordnoodle2146i dont think thats true, to call someone as bad as a pdf for defending them is wrong but the real issue here isnt that he served his time, its that the time given wasnt near high enough for the crime
@@neilm3955
If you have a hard time to decide or not sure about your position then your one of the truly evil ones
This is not complex or difficult
Not for a normal human being
@@devilsolution9781
30 years would be appropriate
Turned his life around? How so? Doing a few years in prison? He got a slap on the wrist for inflicting life long damage to a 12 year old. So what that he was only 19. She is 12!! He is not safe around the young competitors like gymnasts. Attending the olympics is a privilege not for child rapists. I would be ok if he was never allowed in. The 12 year will suffer all her life. She should sue him for every cent he ever earns. The love of sports people is pathetic, no love for that 12 year old.
spot on the damage he has done to the child, the family and others is unfathomable yet she thinks move on we have an Olympics to compete on...shocking reaction by Radcliffe
Just to add as well, he only went to jail for a year and was extradited to the Netherlands where he only spent 1 month in prison there before being released early. Absolutely ridiculous and it makes the Netherlands looks like morons for letting him represent their country.
I have an Idea for a solution. Rather than constant damnation for one guy for something that already has happened, which can't be taken back even if you'd put him behind bars forever or worse.
How about you actually help and support the damage that has been done instead?
@MazeeKasurame I got an idea how about we don't and he gets lost?
He did something unthinkable and now has to pay the price. Just because he went to prison doesn't mean he's now cured and forgiven. Also after seeing and reading some of his comments towards his actions he doesn't sound at all as if he has changed or repented. So no I think we all will stick to our current approach
@@MazeeKasurame Having been in the same situation as that 12 year old I'd like to know how you think that works. It took me 45 years to rid myself of my demons. No amount of therapy helped.
Sport is a privilege though. It's not a right to represent your country. If you've committed as heinous an act as he did, sure, you shouldn't be punished twice _legally_, but you should absolutely waive your rights to the sort of privilege an Olympic athlete has.
Paula Radcliffe should retire from commentating. She clearly does not have a talent for public speaking. She has made enough millions from her career, she can live quietely out of the limelight.
Ah sure just let him be a primary school teacher or something .... I mean he has been to prison like. Catch yourself on Radcliffe. He should be used for medical science.
He shouldn't even be alive after doing that to a 12 year old.
Tell me this isn't actually happening, I'm imagining this, right?
There’s cheating in sport and then there is a child s@x offender! Massive difference 😮
What do you expect from someone who toilets in public!😮 'He was 19 at the time'... yes you mean an adult! Shame on you Radcliffe!
Would she be saying this if it were her daughter or son???
Exactely..No she wouldn't!
Now that is not a mistake what he did. That is a sick mindset that we don't want in our societies or as a role model. 🤮
Zero respect for Radcliffe! She’s in cloud cuckoo land here.
Is she f@cking joking
I can't believe my ears. How can you compare doping to what he's done? She talks about punishing people twice: in this country if you do what this deviant did you go on the register for the rest of your life. That is the 2nd punishment in addition to the jail time.
This is really quite unbelievable...
Paula Radcliffe 🤮
“Tough thing to do , to punish him twice “!!!!!! What about the girl who will have to live with the consequences for ALL of her life …shame on you woman.
*Check this out ------ he served 1 YEAR for this crime !!!!!!!*
is this making-numbers-up-o'-clock or is your statement real?
@@MazeeKasurame No mate, google him - Under a treaty between the Netherlands and UK, Van de Velde was transferred to the Netherlands to serve his sentence. The sentence was at that time adjusted in line with Dutch law, and the charge of grape was substituted for that of fornication.[11] After serving a year of his original four year sentence, he was released from prison
@@Mike-1000 I tried to avoid rabit holes that will take hours just to make myself mad but okay, guess I have to so some research...
@MazeeKasurame apparently a 4 year sentence 12 months of which were served in the UK? Its far too short.
@@MazeeKasurame It's not a rabbit hole, just pure facts.
Comparing him to athletes that cheat or gamble is absurd. The girl was TWELVE. so what if he was only 19. He shouldn't be allowed the special privilege of competing at the highest level in the most prestigious arena
It’s like asking his mom if he’s not a bad boy anymore ffs
Radcliffe should stick to being a parent and protecting her kids from pedophiles , I've lost a lot of respect for her and her reputation as been marred .
Do you think that everyone who goes to jail should never be part of society again? I think they should be given that chance.
@@user-sd3ik9rt6d what about the survivors of child abuse. we have to live with what happened. We have a life sentence how do you think we feel????
@@user-sd3ik9rt6d No one is saying he shouldn't be part of society..Just he doesn't desrve the limelight or respect or understanding..He didn't give any to his victim..and no doubt didn't get the prison sentence he deserved..like almost every Sx offnder..sentences are always too lenient!
No
She’s whining on news outlets and social media now that she made an error. Stop whining and face up to it.
So people can’t admit they made a mistake?
This is why you don't let sports personalities speak. She clearly didn't think about what she was saying
Actually shocked at what she has said.its not like it was a parking fine.What is wrong het
He plaid guilty, was sorry, served his sentence and changed. He should not be outcast for the rest of his life, people can change...
How dare she say this? She is belittling the effects of his crime on the victim. Shame on you!
He should be in Jail for LIFE.
Should not be allowed to compete at all.
I wonder how she would feel if it was her relation violated ? 😮
Never let her do any interview again.
Um, you've got this one very VERY wrong Ms Radcliffe! He served a very short rime in prison while that girl has a life sentence! WRONG on all levels! 😡🙏⚖️🙏
If he gets banned, then anyone convicted of a crime is no longer allowed to work in their previous occupation. Judges set the punishment and they don’t punish for the rest of someone’s life. Prison is the punishment rehabilitation comes after the punishment and a working life is the rehabilitation.
I’ve heard so many people defend this guy. It’s shocking.
Never thought I’d see the day when multiple people are defending a child predator thinking a 12 month sentence is justice, utter pond life the lot of you
And, the little GIRL, who was only TWELVE when he rpd her? He was 19. She has to live with what he did to her as an innocent, weak little girl... against a MAN, who must also have been physically strong, if he is an athlete... Not just a lazy, sloth.
People are jailed, serve their time and then must be allowed to prove themselves.
Not many people would agree with her including me.
Why not wish the victim the best of luck? And NO, he has NOT repented and NO it was NOT a mistake. He did it on purpose and hasn’t even made any remorseful effort to want to heal relations with the girl he traumatized let alone the fact that he only served a year in prison, which isn’t a deterrent at all. He’s disgusting!!
He should have been in for life, not training for Olympics. Ridiculous.
Bad take, Paula.
I went through a miscarriage of justice and have starved and suffered ever since and recently passed out banging my head off the floor and just come out of surgery to see this and see people defend actual criminals having privileged lives. This world is backwards or upside down.
Think how innocent people like me feel about this. I could have been an olympic skateboarder and that was stolen from me but this criminal who has ruined someone's life forever gets to go. Absolutely not. I wouldn't allow it and this woman is evil.
I am the most liberal person in the world, however when it comes to child rapists no. I get that in civilised society even the grossest people are sentenced by judiciary and serve their time and cant simply be 'locked up for life' even though my emotions would like to see him shut in a one man cell until death or worse. I can uncomfortably accept him being released and monitored. But a privilege like entering the Olympics should not be afforded to him even if he's rehabilitated. Comparing him to a drug cheat is poor form from Paula
Would Paula leave her young daughter alone with him? Shame on you Paula,this child was twelve,it was an evil crime
The nationality of the girl is irrelevant.
Do we really believe in rehabilitation or revenge and be honest?
Wow. Just wow.
Horrible take, Paula.
Truly horrible.
19 and 12? Oh yes, he has to get that for the rest of his life😔🕊🙏🏻
This is actually insane.
Rap3 compared to drug taking or cheating
I’ve lost an awful lot of respect for Paula Radcliffe. She’d be wise to step away from public life.
Sorry cheating in sports isnt going to possible destroy a 12 yo life absolutely disgusting shameful comment
Pathetic response.
This is why you don't listen to celebrities
Did he serve his time, if he did he paid the price society placed on him to atone.
The poor 12 year old girl is still suffering. And will do so for the rest of hers!
First of all, he only served 1 year of his 4 year sentence, so he really didn’t serve his sentence. Second of all, anyone who commits such a crime as this POS should forever be banned from participating in anything like the Olympics. Third of all, yes, other athletes have taken drugs and cheated, but the only people they hurt was themselves. This man hurt other people, and he flew to another country to do it, knowing full well the age of the girl and what he was doing. He was 19, more than old enough to know that what he was doing was wrong. He should have to pay for what he did for the rest of his life.
She's worried about punishing him twice, what about the girl? She's punished every day due to his actions
The dude didn’t even serve his full time. We can’t even have a discussion about justice being served, or him serving his sentence etc. because he never did in full.
He should of been jailed for life !
Cheating in sport doesnt hurt anyone only the person taking drugs
Does it bother anyone Radcliffe has a teenage daughter herself
Someone finally gave a sensible answer....🎉
In this modern days, jungle rules.
She is supporting a goof…nuff said.
That little girl has a life sentence. Horrifying remarks by Radcliffe that l hope will last for her lifetime too
The answer is no
The girl will be carrying it for the rest of her life
Sports people aren't known for their empathy.
Simple, no you’re sending a message out and the messages we do something like this year society except you know society does not a 12-year-old girl a 19-year-old boy. They know the difference so now he should be at allowed only to be in a very quiet place where nobody has to look at him.
I see Miss Radcliffe's point in repent. But there are somethings that cannot be overlooked.
This takes "tone deaf" into a special league one.
What *on Earth* are you talking about, Radcliffe?
He should be paying for the rest of his life, the 12yr old who was innocent will be paying for the rest of her life, shame on you paula radcliffe he should be banned for life and
She clarified her comments. People need to see what she said in response this rather than just attacking her
If that was her daughter, would she still be okay with that🤔
I think not....
If they worked in Sainsbury's, no one would care. Just saying
Is she serious? He was 19. Not only was he capable of rping another human being, he did it to a 12 year old. How does him being 19 make it any better? What is the matter with her?
This crime is never spent therefore he can't get certain jobs
What's wrong with this women? The girl was 12 and he was 19. He was old enough to know what he was doing and to compare it to people taking drugs is disgusting. Not to mention he probably has done it more than once and will continue to. These types of people are predators and this woman is trash in my view. I hope she has no kids.
You don't have to punish him for a life time. He can live His life and have his family. But He can not in Olympic
Unbelievable!,,,,,,,Did I just hear her properly
Oh dear 😮 the woman has zero empathy or sympathy. Shocking😡. The child is traumatised for life.
I suggest Paula go down her local centre and listen to the woman surviving the henious act
For most crimes, I’d agree. Perhaps even if he was 16/17 and she was 15… but he was 19 and she was 12!? Nah mate.. does she know these details!?
No longer a fan of Paula Radcliffe. Horrible Comments
LBC is no moral compass on anything
Was not expecting that answer lol.
Might have to give the Pakistan Olympics team a free pass.
12 😮.. didn’t even hear about the age. This is so wrong man. He must be gold material
Can someone clarify about him serving his jail time. I read somewhere that he only served a partial sentence
Paying for that "mistake" 🤔
So what should happen to this guy then? Just be an outcast for the rest of his life?
You got it.
Sounds about right
The logical extension of the argument being put forward by people who say he shouldn't be allowed to compete, is that all criminals should serve whole life sentences, because they can't possibly be rehabilitated.
But that cannot be right. I agree with Paula, he has served time for the crime he committed, and I understand he also voluntarily submitted himself to counselling. There is no reason he shouldn't be allowed to at least try and move on with his life.
That's not a logical conclusion at all. It's a strawman
what about the damage he caused? this 12 YEAR OLD doesn't matter then? that is a child still
@@andrewrobinson1479 He served the sentence handed down upon him. What are you expecting?
@@tryingmybest9819 It absolutely is; it highlights the fallacy of the position that somebody who committed a crime and served the sentence should then spend the rest of their life away from society.
@@LongbranchOlivetti if it had my way, he would "no longer be with us"
US SURVIVORS SUFFER 4 LIFE!!!
