@irvmuch has been exposing the dark side of athletic for more than decade. Started with football, then swimming, diving? and amps up on speed skating. Nothing special about Gymnastics but the ladies decided to lay waste to those abusing power. https://twitter.com/irvmuch?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fconcussioninc.net%2F …

Replying to @NFLObjectors

I very much appreciate your kind comments. I’d add only that there IS something very special about the brave young women of @USAGym and there’s also something special about the excellent work of @markalesia and the team at the @indystar.

A former U.S. speed skater says she reported allegations to Speed Skating Canada in November that head coach Michael Crowe had sexual relationships with several of his athletes when he coached elite skaters south of the border in the 1990s and early 2000s.

A second U.S. speed skater has come forward to CBC News alleging she was in a relationship with Crowe when he coached her at the 1994 Winter Games in Lillehammer, Norway.

I’ve spent the last three days talking to former US speed skaters who had ties to Michael Crowe while he was coaching there in the 80s 90s and 2000s

 

Devin HerouxVerified account @Devin_Heroux

Speaking publicly for the first time, Chantal Cermak told
@CBCNews she had a two-year relationship with Crowe when he was her coach in the early 1990s. She was in her mid-20s and made it to the 1994 Lillehammer Games.

Cermak says she now views the relationship as an abuse of power and wrong.

“I can see that it wasn’t just a relationship between two adults,” she said. “This is someone who uses his power over vulnerable athletes. And for me, I always wanted his approval.”

 

Devin HerouxVerified account @Devin_Heroux

Former US speed skater Eva Rodansky says Speed skating Canda’s CEO Susan Auch advised her in November to contact their confidential harassment hotline to provide details about her allegations.

She says Speed Skating Canada also encouraged her to advise other former athletes on the U.S. team to come forward if they have additional information.
