Washington Post: Rick Curl ‘Accepts’ Provisional USA Swimming Suspension
Rapist Coach Rick Curl’s Victim’s Lawyer Blasts USA Swimming Procedures
August 1, 2012The Sick and Sophomoric World of Rick Curl and His Underling Swim Coach, Noah Rucker
August 2, 2012Here’s how The Post’s Amy Shipley, who broke the story last week, covers the continuance in USA Swimming’s Rick Curl matter:
Shipley also quotes a USA Swimming spokesperson as saying Noah Rucker, a coach on the staff at the Curl-Burke Swim Club (which is rebranding itself as “CUBU,” even though Curl supposedly has not admitted guilt in the Kelley Davies-Currin case), was suspended recently in another “emergency” hearing. The article doesn’t specify, but the implication would be a permanent suspension, or lifetime ban. I guess we should be looking at the USA Swimming website for updates of its banned list.
