Early life

[edit]

She was born 1982 in Yiğitler village, Yenifakılı, Yozgat Province.[2]

Scandal

[edit]

Aylin Daşdelen and her two teammates, Sibel Şimşek and Şule Şahbaz, filed in September 2004 complaints of sexual harassment against Mehmet Üstündağ, who was the coach of the Turkey national women's weightlifting team. He was accused of repeated physical sexual molestation going back several years. The court ordered the arrest of him despite his denial. Daşdelen told a television news program that Üstündağ also made it a habit of "beating" his charges. She blamed the trainer also for the 1999 suicide of teammate Esma Can.

The only support for Üstündağ came from Nurcan Taylan, who in turn accused her three teammates of being "lesbians". Üstündağ came under investigation on similar charges in the 2000s, but the evidence was inconclusive.
