In their lawsuits, sexual assault survivors say that sexual abuse is widespread throughout Olympic-track athletics in America. These brave plaintiffs accuse the US Olympic Committee of creating a culture in which sexual abuse complaints are ignored, or concealed, in order to protect the reputations of coaches and maintain lucrative sponsorship deals. They say young student athletes are routinely exploited by the USOC and its national governing bodies, forced to exchange their personal safety and wellbeing for a shot at success in international competition.
If these allegations are true, this culture needs to be changed. No young man or woman should be forced to trade their dignity for a chance at Olympic gold. Yet day after day, we hear of new cases of young student athletes feeling intimidated into sexual relationships with their coaches, along with trainers, doctors and other affiliates of the USOC.
Many of these allegations have come to implicate prominent universities. Michigan State University has been accused of concealing Larry Nassar's abusive conduct for years, even as hundreds of young gymnasts came out to report the abuse in public.
Similar allegations have been leveled against the University of Southern California and Ohio State University, where 1 former Olympic-level diver has struck against the campus' alleged culture of concealment and dismissal. Like these survivors, and many others, we believe that sexual abuse may be systemic within the university athletics community.
