I have just made a "Formal Complaint" against Mitch Ivey at the USA Swimming website. I mention a preponderance of evidence in such publications as Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, ESPN, The Colorado Springs Gazette and even a divorce court preceding, that Mitch Ivey has engaged in sexual harassment and/or abuse that is summarily against USA Swimming rules and standards.He should be a banned coach and his photo should be removed from the ASCA photo gallery.

Bravo, Tony. Now here is my prediction of the response from USA Swimming: You have "no standing" to file a "formal complaint".
Tony, I'm not sure you are going through the right route here. Although USA Swimming and ASCA work together on some cases (like putting together clinics for coaches), the two entities are not really linked. They are, in fact, independent from each other (being a member of one is not a requirement for membership with the other, and vice-versa). Writting to Coach Certifications at USA Swimming will probably not do anything to get the picture out of the ASCA webpage. You should just write or even call the ASCA office (phone is listed on the webpage) and point it out.
The ASCA web page bugs me but I see that his name is not on the banned coaches list and after all the stuff that was sent to me, I can't see why he isn't.
Lucas,
USA Swimming and ASCA may not officially be the same organization but when you look at their history it certainly does feel like they are.
I just deleted an anonymous post.
What ever happened with your complaint?
I thought i did a post on this result? The witness who the was centerpiece of the investigation, his wife, had passed away. Hence they could not go any further with it.
Tony...my sister went to UF in 1990 about Mitch and was completely ignored. They called it an isolated case.
She passed away shortly before Mitch was banned for life...I wish she were able to see that this monster is dome.
