Presumably, lawyers Michael Glazier, a leading NCAA consigliere, and Alan Sullivan are about to wrap up their investigation of the University of Utah’s epic-fail investigation of abusive swim coach Greg Winslow. The smart money is that the report will acknowledge that mistakes were made (as the passive-voice corporate types love to put it) and let athletic director Chris Hill off the hook. But go ahead and prove me wrong, Michael and Alan.<\/p>\n

Like other journalists, Tim Joyce and I have gotten a ton of emails from athletes and their families pointing, in our mind, to a clear cover-up. Some of the most compelling material is flatly factual, devoid of rhetoric or an agenda. Vlas Lezin’s, for instance.<\/p>\n

Lezin was a Russian swimmer who got royally screwed out of his scholarship for the most trivial and capricious reasons. I’ve uploaded his full story, in his own voice, at http:\/\/muchnick.net\/lezin.pdf<\/a>. Despite the bad pun in the headline above, what is most striking is Lezin’s lack<\/em> of bitterness.<\/p>\n

Which makes this introductory passage all the more illustrative of Winslow’s and Utah’s m.o. with their swimmers:<\/p>\n

“1. I was never a rumor-guy so I have not witnessed or heard any stories about his moves on the swimmers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. To give you example, from observing Greg’s interactions with Kate Charipar for the first several months I thought she was his wife. Back then, I did not know that she hold a compliance officer position in the university.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
