well not really. You have to speculate - even though it seems obvious - why she was fired. It is not speculation that Schubert:
1) Hired a coach he knew was under investgiation for inappropriate behavior.
2) Was asked to fire the coach repeatedly.
I too want to know why was Schubert fired from US swimming.
I went to Mission Viejo to watch Schubert work in the late 70's (they swam against the East Germans). Anyway, he was a hero to me and after reading about all the allegations, a big sigh along with me shaking my head is how I feel. I wish the victims prayers to heal and hope that he didn't cover-up the problem. Please keep us posted.

Just saw this:
WASHINGTON - Rick Curl has been sentenced to 15 years, with all but seven suspended.
From a Swimswam story about Curl:
Curl’s attorneys painted this as a low risk of recidivism, though a psychological report said that there was a “degree of sexual deviance” because of the age of Currin and the length of time of the abuse. Curl told the doctor that he takes the blame even though he said that Currin made the first move at the age of 12.

She made the "first move" at the age of 12? Yeah, I'd say there's a degree of sexual deviance!

Gosh, big of him to take the blame. (Read that in an extremely sardonic tone, in case that's not obvious...)
