 <\/p>\n

We’ve been reporting the overdue sanction in Venezuela of coach Danny Chocron, who in 2001 had jumped $250,000 bail on 14 criminal counts of the sex abuse of teen female and male swimmers he supervised.<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve also lit a verbal match to the clay feet of Travis Tygart, the holier-than-thou head of the national Olympic committee’s U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. But it turns out that Tygart’s conflict of interest in managing the Chocron case in an earlier position as a lawyer for USA Swimming is a magnitude more egregious than we previously knew.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the latest puff piece on Tygart, fearless slayer of the dragon performance-enhancing drug user cyclist Lance Armstrong, the <\/span>Times-Union <\/span><\/i>of Jacksonville, Florida — home of Chocron and Tygart’s Bolles prep school — notes that Tygart not only is an alumnus of Bolles. <\/span>Tygart also coached in the Bolles athletic department <\/span><\/i>before going to law school:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“After graduating from Bolles in 1989, Tygart earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina and returned home to teach and coach for several years at Bolles.”<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

See “Jacksonville native Travis Tygart, who led Armstrong investigation, on another crusade to clean up sports,” <\/span>http:\/\/jacksonville.com\/sports\/2017-11-10\/jacksonville-native-travis-tygart-who-led-armstrong-investigation-another-crusade<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What remains unclear is whether <\/span>Florida Times-Union <\/span><\/i>writer Phillip Heilman was unaware of Tygart’s role in USA Swimming sex abuse cover-ups generally, or in not publicizing Chocron’s flight from justice in particular; or Heilman knew and chose not to raise the topic in his interview with Tygart.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heilman has not responded to our query.<\/span>Concussion Inc. will be following up with Heilman and <\/span>Times-Union <\/span><\/i>sports editor Chet Fussman.<\/span><\/p>\n
