Alright, USA Swimming.
Yes, you should apologize. Step up the protection of
our youth and ban these idiots who think they can
get their jollies out on the youth of America.
Do not become like the catholic church and try to sweep
this BS under the rug. Take charge and accept the problems
and DEAL WITH IT!
What about other sports? Does anyone think this is just confined to swimming? I doubt it.
There has been an ongoing issue with youth hockey as well. The saddest part is that for some of these kids the coach is closer to them than the parents, and the weirdos take advantage of that. The other sad part is that some times the kids that do say something, the claim is dismissed by the adults. Then you have the times where the kids or parents claim abuse by the coach out of spite or revenge.
In any case this bozo at USA Swimming should find his way to the exit door and fast.
