his victim was 15 despite the lawsuit. 8 years later he was appointed coach of the year, and he worked for another 26 years before finally being sentenced to 7 years in prison. little files also include a dispatch from associated press reporting, the exclusion of mich ivy. a former olympic champion turned coach from his club for having intimate relations with several under age athletes. one of them later became his wife. usa swimming only excluded him in 2013 sean hutchinson, george kidney jack nelson. charles or robbers. the roll call goes on us a swimming covered up dozens of cases. you know, if you were just some average coach here in indianapolis, and you got arrested for me, was the kid they would kick you out of swimming very simply. if you are a good coach, however, somebody like sean hutchinson, they handled or ever luciano or rick earl or mic dr. be fill in the blank. if you

were a successful coach that produced metals and money for them, they handled your claim differently. they sent your claim to a board of review maybe, or they just whitewash the whole thing as long as the metals and money keep coming . they don't care. the metals are crucial to the federation financial success and to when metals unique good coaches. so to ensure usa swimming prosperity, chuck, well guess, decided to protect his best coaches, even when there was damning evidence against them as the lawyer, bob ballard found out when he defended other abuse survivors chuck wall. this really was the mastermind of his time as far as being able to deceive, being able to lie and cover up for pedophile coaches, he mastered the cover. i many documents prove chuck,

well this is personal responsibility such as the story of the west coast swimming coach. andrew king, who is notorious for engaging his swimmers and sex games and inviting them to his home in 2003, the head of a club notified chuck. welcome, but a young female swimmer had complained here as well. gus's reply, no formal complaint is being filed, so there is no formal action for you or us to take. this matter should be kept confidential by both you and us. despite the cover up by the federation, this particular coach was tried and sentenced to 40 years and imprisonment. it emerged that he had abused 15 swimmers. one of them had to have an abortion. at the age of 14. you don't approve value code, please don't let me die. imagine that plays on field to be can fill up. you can get

the yellow order if you know, if you live on your finance, like the month for that for the i soon as the federations executive director, chuck well guess reap the greatest rewards from usa swimming success. i hear that almost a $1000000.00 a year job living in colorado springs and everything taken care of for you 1st class tickets to elliptic sites and board of director meetings in places like can coon and coaster rica, he had a pretty good at the time the public had no idea of the sexual abuse and swimming, but chuck wall ghost feared an outbreak of scandal, as shown by a recording we obtained. here he is addressing coaches at their annual convention in 2009. so this is, this is the hardest audience for me to speak to because you're the people who make the sport work, who i respect the most. i read in the paper this morning,

usa swimming coach, kissimay, florida, arrested allegedly had sex with the 12 year old girls. this happens almost every week. we get calls at the office, i get informed about it. one of my greatest fears is someone is going to start linking all this together. there's going to be a 60 minute documentary about youth coaches in sports like gymnastics and swimming. the very next year. his fears came true, young girls with big dreams working long and hard for a shot at olympic. laurie. tonight a scandal unfold, dozens of highly regarded swim coaches across the country, guilty of sexual misconduct with vulnerable young girls. the us media seized on chuck wall gets his reaction to the swimmers. harrowing testimony ah,

you feel i need to apologize to them. just logos claims he had done his utmost to prevent abuse and denied all blame on. he did not resign and kept his job until his death in 2017. in 2018, a california newspaper estimated that a total of $590.00 swimmers had suffered sexual abuse. usa swimming refused to answer our questions, but a former vice president agreed to meet us. i went to the 2008 paying lip of games that i opened my mouth about the, the sexual abuse problem and in 2010. i was persona non grata and thanked for my previous service. mike salt state, told us that at the time usa swimming did not just protect abusers from the

1980 s onwards. even before chuck logan got there, the federation had a strategy for dealing with cases of this and limiting their financial impact. in theory, the victims family should go to the police and bring a lawsuit against the coach, a club, and the federation. but in the usa, lawyers fees can run into tens of thousands of dollars. and in this type of case, the outcome is uncertain because the abuse is often difficult to prove. so most cases are settled out of court. the lawyer is acting for the 2 parties come to an agreement on the amount of compensation to be paid to the victim. it is not the federation that pays, but its insurance company ah, in 1988 usa swimming set up its own insurance company. u. s. s. i see

domiciled on the caribbean island of barbados. ah, but the number of cases soon became problematic. ah, u. s. s i c noted the rise in claims of sexual abuse and molest. in fact, it quickly became the 3rd most expensive part of usa somethings insurance programs . and it became apparent that we needed to decrease the exposure of music to the sexual abuse and the last claims. so the insurance firms that a cap of $100000.00 on compensation and to receive the money, the families had to sign a confidentiality agreement. and promise not to bring any lawsuits in the future. ah, what they did is they created a small policy of a $100000.00, hoping that everybody would just take the $100000.00 every every kid to complain to be molested and would just walk away. and that by and large,

worked through 20072008. they were able to buy off all their claims for $100.00 grand. they could obtain much more and they went to millions. i mean, the stuff that happened to these these children is worth, i don't know how you put a price. i got it, but certainly not $100000.00. what did you think about the system? it's the right system from an insurance company. it's the right way for an insurance company to protect itself. it's the wrong way for the parent organization to act. oh, lastly, the federation set up a sort of internal court of justice, made up of lawyers and hiring usa swimming officials. in the united states, we have mandatory reporter laws, which means if you as an adult, involved with children, have a reasonable suspicion of it of an issue. you must report it to the local police.

what something was doing was resetting those complaints, accepting that parents, phone call, and not reporting to the police. not asking the parents to report to the police, it telling them that it was usa, somebody's responsibility if obligation and usa swimming would handle it completely . unbeknownst to the parent, what they do is they put receptive arbitrators on this panel. we're talking coaches who have been relationships with their swimmers. we're talking attorneys who have defended usa swimming on sex abuse claims. we're talking about a woman who married her swim coach, who is now a lawyer, so they hand select the arbitrators who will be hearing these claims. i believe it was obstruction. it was, it was obstruction of justice. in this sense. i personally did, i think that was

a fair system. it's a spider web, me just curious system function for over 20 years. me throughout that time, usa swimming deliberately obstructed genuine reforms. ah, the olympic metal is david burke for members that vividly in 1991 as a usa swimming board member each year to small working group tasked with recommending solutions. ah, i was the chair and i was 25 years old. i wasn't the adult, the room and here's this young person say we need to protect the athletes. and everybody in that room, i think was very aware of rick, earl, and niche id and many others that i didn't even know about and did nothing. me, the group made several recommendations. recommendation to usa swimming that

a 1800 number be created to serve as a referral and information service recommendation that coaches and teams obtain certified professional rubdown specialists or trainers. many coaches can be placed in potentially compromising situations. any usa swimming member convicted of sexual misconduct will instantly lose their us a swimming card. me not one of the measures was implemented when you have a culture that is tolerated for so on. change is going to be slow and change is going to come from the outside and the olympic sports movement white. the catholic church, like the orthodox jewish community, is a closed community. and when you have called communities that refuse to regulate themselves and refuse to add outside voices in, this is, this is the result. ah,

[000:00:00;00] cruise . in one of the worst have a mass shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy a close a little of the real left vega where many say elected officials are controlled by casino loaners. the dangerous shooting revealed what? the l v m p d really is. and now it's part of the stand machine to the american public barely remember that happens, that just shows you the power of money and las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pen demick heard the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have a mayor who doesn't care to, here's caroline goodman,

offering the lives of the vegas residence. to be the control group. to the shiny facades conceal a deep indifference to the people the vice could have been saved if they would take an action. absolutely keep the registering and the slot machines doing this is a money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost. look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, accept where's the shorter? in that conflict with the 1st law show your identification, we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at the point obviously is too great truck rather than fear i would take on various jobs with artificial intelligence. real,

somebody with demon a robot must protect its own existence, was the limit the number of court cases usa swimming went even further. as jan c. thomson found out to her cause it all started when she decided to file a complaint. chancey was bullied and sexually abused by her coach between the ages of 13 and 20. it took her years to realize what had been done to her and decide to seek justice when she began to be molested, she was the age her children are now. it's super important for me to allow them to have a childhood because that if my son's age i didn't have one,

it was already starting to be stripped away from me. and at that point, recalling what had happened and piecing together her memory and took her a long time readers to the board by the time she had done so it was too late. she was over the age limit for filing a sexual abuse. complaint in california. fall ballard was her lawyer here in california. you have until the age of 26 to initiate civil suit and she was, i believe she was 28 years old. she was just a couple years after that point in time. so chancey tried to get the law changed. it started with a meeting right down the street chancey, and i went down to the politicians office, not knowing him, him not knowing us. he was compassionate. we had a connection with him and he supported a bill that changed the statute,

limitations age from 26 to 40, and it was called s b 131. on may 7th, 2013 states senator jim beale, chancey thompson and other abuse survivors, including former gymnast testified in front of the california state senate. cherokee thompson. i currently have an ongoing litigation against you for me. my coach did last me for many, many years and i am in support of sb 131 as well. thank you. and witnesses and support. so they came to the hearing supporting the bill, extending the statute limitations. the whole clubs here pay from all over the place to come to this meeting because they don't have justice. they just want justice. they're also on the front row, holding their hands together like they do and lympics, they all failed hands to one another. supporting the woman that was up testifying. i was 8 or 9 years old. the 1st time i felt dred, she had

a really hard time getting up there and speaking. very difficult to tell her story . make sure very emotional. yeah. does. but the bill was blocked. 5 months later, jerry brown, the governor of california, vito did it was then that the victims learned that there had been frantic lobbying behind the scenes. the opponents of the bill included the catholic church and representatives of the usa swimming ah, gene urban, i represent usa swimming. we represent over 300000 swimmers and 10000 swim clubs. we are opposed to the bill. thank you. swimming in the catholic church and lots of organizations who have troubled histories with sexual abuse got together and said, we cannot have the statute of limitations opened up. it would be very, very costly to us. we're talking

a law that if passed would have resulted in billions of dollars of damages paid by entities like usa swimming and the catholic church. the man who spoke on behalf of usa swimming works for the lobbying firm, nielsen and merck. same are the federation paid the firm $90000.00 to get the bill blocked me. i was amazed to see usa swimming put its coaches in the same place as the church pudding, clergy who had abused children. those 2 things being brought together were horrified. it leaves me speechless sometimes because i don't understand how you can silence and sweep sex abuse under the rug for so many decades and have this culture allowed and okay, and it's all about money, money and metals. in at the beginning of 2020

usa swimming was the subject of to f. b. i investigations, a tax investigation and an investigation by congress along with it's chairman, tim henchey, the chairs of the gymnastics, volleyball, weightlifting skating. ty, quando and bob fled, federations are being called to account some risk prison sentences, their organizations to be disbanded. if the governing bodies of sports take no action to protect their athletes, can governments themselves step in the olympic movement was founded in $1894.00, it is the top of the sporting pyramid above the international and national federation. before yearly summer olympic games are the most important event in

international sport. some 11000 athletes from 206 countries take part in them, and they are watched by nearly 4000000000 television viewers. awe from its head office and lowes and in switzerland. the international olympic committee alternately organized as the summer and winter olympic gain and administers receipts which are considerable. the revenues for the 20162018 games alone came to $5700000000.00. the i o c also has a duty to defend the olympic value and ensure that they are upheld by all the sporting federations that take part in the game. as a lawyer who specializes in international sports law, jean christophe le bootlegs as well versed in the olympic values. respect for the athletes, features and the olympic charter. bombings, plentiful aunt lou mbc not. whose ivy not alone?

when do jesus, you will root during these inter veterans for salvation. gabriel, from all you do me money to all who do pull war in? so she did, but she shows lucas. l. v. min pasco sickly for to go sheila? lucy, louis. the cold plays at new coast, but those who she knew please do me. and what concrete steps as the i o. c taken during the olympics, a sexual abuse counselor is available for athletes to speak to. apart from that, the i o. c makes awareness, raising videos everyone involved is bought, say none of the sexual harassment child abuse in one voice and issue declaration condemning sexual abuse. it's the most substantial publication dates from november 2017. it is a 60 page manual designed to help sporting federations and national limbic

committees introduce procedures to protect athletes containing detailed advice about how to help victims and educate athletes and those in charge of them about sexual abuse. how does d c shake if it has been correctly implemented or not? we talked to them. we talked to the international federations very, very often we conduct surveys because they don't doing this alone. we're helping the you there are people go in the field and go inside version and ask them, show me what you did and when and how i mean it's more friendly than that. we're working together with them. we are in contact daily with preparations and national limping committees. is there a sanction that can be applied to them if they don't implement those measures? our concept of that is we get much better results if we work with these people and encourage them. and they understand the problem in their context. so we haven't

needed to get to that kind of level of deciding whether it's a sanction. so far they've been very collaborative and we're getting ahead with convincing and helping the sports organizations to have these safeguarding rules in place. so i don't what if they don't do it when they do it, they are doing it you'll, you're talking about something happening like us in genetics. thank you very much. thank you. usa. oh, the i o. c does is make recommendations. isn't there some way it could impose changes you or peter fit well to lead up. wish me, david, you don't day to be room all legal senior when apostrophe, can we do monday? don't you prove, marcia? what bruce lupa is here? who's at let limpy can, she's got to see you on what you

a little parsha will keep. others is all bushels of the man above while you know, school, it also does in the computer, mom didn't do the defeat, display sees it is perceived as much algebra to show them the sexual are for the moment the i see relies on sporting federations willingness to do what is needed as governments, in many countries, if change doesn't come from governments or sporting institutions, where might it come from in the me, it's a measure that has to be implemented in every club, like the ban on unnecessary physical contact and vetting the criminal records of people will be in charge of children in

a professional or voluntary capacity and rules that adults and children should be kept separate during travel and showers. for the last 3 years, paul stewart has devoted himself entirely to combating the problem of sexual abuse in sport. that is what he is doing here in the suburbs of manchester. oh gosh. 5 he owned in can national them support up to me and i know lean in from tyler because it's just click to forgotten. took in order to gain down novick. that was fun too. and became too quality and present the busy and try not to win further in for i'm sure when you mentioned dobbins, who,

when dusty more to 9 human response, may fulfill a self curse avenue than by your shoulder to desi morning. and so i've said that, you know, can new policies and procedures up very, very important. but if we're really serious about keeping all children safe from sexual violence that we need some serious changes in the way that we think about the way we do school who in i. ready i. ready

i oh, oh, i the join me every 1st day on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me the. i don't know. i mean there's some fits in there. were rescuing the food that they were not

scabbing or were rescuing resources that are still good. this is best by march 21st, which is in 2 days. all of these potatoes, pianos, onions, all of these came from waste, found sources. this is great for me because i'm always looking for a way to give things away dr. because the tax laws, you know, definitely do benefit the wealthier people in our society. so that makes sense for them to throw it out right off rather than give it to somebody who could use it. and then that person is not going to buy it. here was our annual summer solution where we know not a problem, but the solution the one of the persian gulf, the wealthiest country is,

has spent billions of dollars on state of the art stadiums. well, look at this, the stadium is really taking shape. you can see the bowl and most of the stands now, when we were here a little bit over a year ago, at the same construction site, it was just a foundation and a few metal structures. so it seems that time why this idea to use shipping containers as building blocks has definitely paid off. i mean, they're easy to assemble and easy to dismantle, just like playing with lego the for the 1st time and world cup. hey, st. stating will be billed from shipping containers and what's more, it will be completely dismantled after the tournament. me

use. the next thing give investigation reveals that a host of america's riches billionaires are avoiding taxes despite getting richer. the us revenue service seems more concerned with finding out to leave the fund increasing rails against nato expansion and the mistreatment of russians in ukraine in a comprehensive interview ahead of his summer to jo. by that also the university students who remove an image of queen elizabeth the 2nd from the college is common ring size is linked to the colonial pass. the move that's being condemned by the countries education minister is absurd. we put the issue up for debate. the
