The United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (Usepc) has not detailed the specific reasons of the layoffs, simply reporting that the case of the tights is still under analysis by Safesport – the body responsible for investigations on the accusations of abuse in national sport. The endings were formalized on March 14, but they only became public this week.
“After our complete internal evaluation, we can confirm that Gary Collinder and Eileen Carey are no longer affiliated with Usepc,” said Jon Mason, spokesperson for the USOPC.
Currently 34, Grace Boutot has revealed that she started his training with the tights at the age of 15. According to his relationship, the technician had practiced inappropriate touches since that moment. The violations intensified when he turned 18, evolving into “kisses, sexual caresses and oral sex”, as recorded in the testimony of the therapist Jacqueline Pauli-Ritz.
In September 2010, the therapist faced the coach, warning of the need for immediate removal by the athlete, who had a serious depressive picture. The warning was ignored until October, when Grace tried suicide for drug overdose. Only after this episode did the professional relationship interrupted.
Biatlo, an integral mode of the winter Olympic games, is characterized by the merger between the background sprouts and the sport. In the Paralympic sphere, sport is inserted in Nordic skiing, a program that includes Biatlo and country ski races.
