Je tiens à réagir aux récentes accusations qui ont été portées à mon encontre ces derniers jours. J’ai appris l’ouverture d’une investigation de la Fédération Française de Voile sur les échanges...
www.facebook.com
For those without Facebook:
I want to respond to the recent accusations that have been brought against me in the last few days.
I learned about the opening of an investigation by the federation Française de Voile about the WhatsApp exchanges I had with my husband during the Vendée Globe 2020.
These exchanges took place on my board phone, owned by my former team, which I left accessible to all as soon as I landed in accordance with the rules. I never cheated, I never had any desire to break a rule during this 87-day world tour.
During our exchanges, which are mainly related to the intimacy of a couple, Tanguy never gives me any information that I already have. Not having a conversation with him made me change course or make a strategic choice that would have impacted my race. I have always made all my performance choices alone and unassisted according to the rules.
I'm appalled at the echo that anonymous denunciations can have without even questioning the statutory basis, nor the context of those posts. I am outraged at how these screenshots are pinched to draw hasty and false conclusions, which completely bypass official investigations, and are already hurting us. Three years after the end of Vendée Globe, we can only wonder about the motives and timing of this anonymous disclosure and we reserve the right to make a complaint if necessary.
For my part, I am of course at the disposal of the federation française de Voile and Vendée Globe to analyze our exchanges in full transparency.
