Money- and image-obsessed USA Swimming, the national governing body under the umbrella of the U.S. Olympic Committee, has been covering up these practices for decades. White-collar criminal accounting and oversight fixes remain a length and a half behind the public&#8217;s uninformed indifference.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>That may be changing with a 15-page article by writer Rachel Sturtz in the December issue of<em>Outside<\/em>magazine, which hits newsstands today. It is the best hope in years for getting this multi-generational, Catholic Church-scale national disgrace the attention it deserves, and for spurring investigations set in motion over the summer by retiring Congressman George Miller of California&#8217;s 11th District and several offices of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CONTINUED TODAY at<a href=\"http:\/\/www.beyondchron.org\/fed-investigations-usa-swimming-sexual-abuse-boosted-article-outside-magazine\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.beyondchron.org\/fed-investigations-usa-swimming-sexual-abuse-boosted-article-outside-magazine\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>===============<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><a title=\"Permanent Link to Outside Magazine Article on USA Swimming Sex Abuse Now Online\" href=\"https:\/\/concussioninc.net\/?p=9664\" rel=\"bookmark\">Outside Magazine Article on USA Swimming Sex Abuse Now Online<\/a><\/h2>\n<div>Published November 11th, 2014<a title=\"View all posts in Uncategorized\" href=\"https:\/\/concussioninc.net\/?cat=1\" rel=\"category\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.outsideonline.com\/outdoor-adventure\/water-activities\/swimming\/The-Sex-Abuse-Scandal-Plaguing-USA-Swimming.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.outsideonline.com\/outdoor-adventure\/water-activities\/swimming\/The-Sex-Abuse-Scandal-Plaguing-USA-Swimming.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We, like all of you, are just now reading the lengthy story by<em>Outside&#8217;s<\/em>Rachel Sturtz.

and a governing body that looks the other way.&#8221;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Beginning with the powerful subhead text above, the long article in the December issue of<i>Outside<\/i>magazine, &#8220;Unprotected&#8221; by Rachel Sturtz, is unquestionably the most effective mainstream-media hit on the white-collar criminals at USA Swimming since the broadcast investigations of ABC&#8217;s<i>20\/20<\/i>and ESPN&#8217;s<i>Outside the Lines<\/i>in 2010.<\/p>\n<p><i>Outside<\/i>&#8216;s package of online features &#8211; including interviews and a rogues&#8217; gallery of some of the worst offenders on USA Swimming&#8217;s now 108-strong banned list &#8211; has production values that Concussion Inc., of course, has no hope of ever matching.<\/p>\n<p>All this even though the magazine, unlike Tim Joyce and Irv Muchnick, carefully avoids goring such sacred cows as &#8220;child protection expert&#8221; Victor Vieth; former swimming abuse cover-up lawyer Travis Tygart (who is not mentioned at all, but whose over-praised U.S. Anti-Doping Agency hovers over &#8220;future solutions&#8221; like a false idol); and the local police, parks and rec departments, and media institutions of South Florida that corruptly allowed Alex Pussieldi to get away with his human-trafficking racket for more than a decade after multiple complaints of his Peeping Tom videos of swimmer-tenants, and of his collection of recordings of his sex with underage boys.[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Article in New Issue of Outside Magazine Boosts Fed Investigations of USA Swimming&#8217;
