If not, how can the USOC ignore this especially on the heels of the Catholic Church scandal? What started in the Boston Catholic Diocese is now a global phenomena. The USOC is not financed by the government. It's all donations and if a national governing body under its wings is suddenly not above suspicion in regards to certifications and policy, well, pass the jelly because that NGB is toast.
To say that sex is a really hot topic in America is an understatement of biblical proportions and due to the litigious nature of the United States; and believe me this place is way litigious, it seems an obvious potential that more lawsuits will be filed unless something bullet proof is drawn up soon.
Therefore, I predict USA Swimming will get it.

I'm with you. Sometimes it takes someone slapping you in the face to make effective changes. While this may seem like a dark day in swimming, I think the dark days were when nobody said anything.
As an optimist, I see this as a huge positive.
Let's hope we're not wrong.
Swimmers need to come forward and support the sport of swimming. And protect the good coaches by standing by them.
More than ever before, athletes have to stand up and talk about how very import the sport of swimming has been in their development and their life.
Root out the bad coaches by fully supporting the abused swimmers who are reporting them and their experiences.
I am positive right now after reading Wielgus emotional response. I am really hopeful that by Monday we are out of the woods moving forward.
