Going to the World Arena wouldn't necessarily shed any light on what was going on at the rink in Monument, which is about twenty-five miles away. As an entity established by federal legislation, SafeSport is bound by the protections of the Constitution. The Due Process clause likely guarantees...

The ban is directed at the Federation, not at individual skaters. The Federation fully supports the war.

T Rightly or wrongly, there is a double standard here. That said, if Tutberidze has a Georgian passport, for example, a ban against "Russian" coaches would not prevent her from traveling to and coaching at competitions. Tutberidze may also have U.S. citizenship or, as the mother of an...

I have done a search of the Archives and can't find her remarks, so I may be attributing to MacDonald her daughter Chantelle Kerry's post on social media to the effect that she (Chantelle) was a real Australian, implying that Brooklee Han was not. At any rate, MacDonald enabled Chantelle to...

Copying over from the wrong thread. :duh: Thank you, @Sylvia :notworthy: https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/olympics/owner-of-macquarie-ice-rink-tells-kerry-family-to-stay-away-following-serious-allegations-against-olympian-son/news-story/1399cbd36cee28df0ef47f503a30470e This implies that...

Inasmuch as SafeSport does not generally publicize the names of people who are the subject of an ongoing investigation, why are you surprised? According to at least one poster in this thread, Kerry, as a coach, was required to tell ISA exactly that. And yet he evidently did not do so.

I have a feeling that Kerry and his mother do not understand the standard of review at this new arbitration. It is apparently de novo, which means that arbitrator will be deciding the issues without reference to any legal conclusion or assumption made by the previous court to hear the case. That...

Congratulations, @skipaway!

https://uscenterforsafesport.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/2023-SafeSport-Code.pdf As I read the Code, the Center has discretionary jurisdiction to investigate and resolve the kind of allegations Gracie Gold made but is not obligated to do so.

:confused: This is a link to an article by Carla Jaeger, who reports that she wasn't able to contact MacDonald and was unable to contact Kerry directly. Snippet: Quite a lot of judicial and quasi-judicial decisions come with no advance warning, so what happened here is par for the course.

Why should they? There is nothing stopping the complainant from informing the other country's federation.

I remind everyone that Valieva & Co. have filed an appeal and asked the appellate panel to reinstate Russia's gold medal in the Team Event. There cannot be medal ceremony until that appeal is resolved. I am no expert here, but it is conceivable that the panel will dismiss the Russian appeal...

Easier said than done, given that his wife is in poor health and they have three children under the age of eleven. In an earlier generation, a prince or princess in William's situation might have handed off most of the family responsibilities to others, but I don't think that he would want to...
