Comments made in privacy must be censored too

The International Skating Union (ISU) has replaced its commentators at the figure skating world championships after a live microphone picked up one of them making a demeaning remark about retired Canadian skater Meagan Duhamel.

Simon Reed, who was calling the world titles with Nicky Slater, thought his microphone was off when he made the comment

Skating's governing body apologised to Duhamel and launched an internal investigation into the incident

The ISU said on Thursday it was "shocked" by the language and it apologised to Duhamel.

Simon Reed made the comment at the end of Wednesday's pairs broadcast, referring to "that bitch from Canada", apparently believing his microphone was off.
