Most companies have HR policies in place for coworkers who may become romantically involved. I'm not sure why similar policies couldn't be implemented for figure skating. Romantic relationships must be reported to protect against potential power differentials. And absolutely no dating among coaches and their personal skaters. If the athlete is an adult and wants to pursue a relationship, get a new coach.
I completely agree with comment. Even if both parties are adults it changes the balance and environment in the workplace. When I was dancing, our director had an affair with a fellow dancer. Suddenly, she had all the solos and the rest of cast was upset to the point that some people quit. It is not OK to mix your work life and personal life unless you can truly keep it private. I feel bad for all parties involved and I hope lessons have been learned from this tragic case.
