USA Gymnastics may not be the only Olympic organization that has a systemic problem with sexual abuse. A lengthy investigative report from the Southern California News Group ― published Friday at one of the group’s newspapers, the Orange County Register ― says that USA Swimming ignored or covered up hundreds of sexual abuse cases over the course of decades. The article centers on Chuck Wielgus, the former USA Swimming executive director who died in April of complications from colon cancer. USA Swimming did not respond to SCNG’s requests for comment, the Register article notes. USA Swimming did not respond to HuffPost’s request for comment for this story.
