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!

    Children lie. Adults do too. The ramifications of the lying are at issue here. Most children's lies can be found out. Yes, very serious damage is done to the adult, however, most of the time the children can't keep the lie up. Children are a protected class. I'll bet that the number of children lying about abuse is far, far less than the number of abused children. I thought that Welgas' written response was pretty good. If you want to coach kids, part of the game is to understand the rules.
