“Time to nail U.S.- based swimming coach pedophile George Gibney” … now at Village, Ireland’s Political and Cultural Magazine

George Gibney, the story that won’t die, is also the story that won’t live – or at least isn’t given the oxygen to breathe.

They suggest that this Olympic year could be the one that finally delivers justice in the excruciating legacy of Gibney, whom I call the most notorious at-large sex criminal in sports history. But that probably won’t happen if the authorities are under no pressure to drop the other shoe.
