British Gymnastics will "step aside" to allow UK Sport and Sport England to co-commission the independent review into allegations of abuse and bullying in the sport, the governing body said on Thursday.

British Gymnastics had said last week that it had commissioned Jane Mulcahy QC to conduct the review.
