69% Informative
Two -time Olympian Joan Wilder , 58 , said her coach got away with trying to sexually assault her in 1990 despite her complaints to then- U.S. Biathlon official Max Cobb .
Wilder said she reported it to Cobb but he “didn’t consider it discipline-worthy” Cobb denied allegations of failing to act.
The women came forward after AP reported that Olympian Joanne Reid was sexually abused.
The Maine Winter Sports Center settled for $ 75,000 in a 2011 complaint to the Maine Human Rights Commission .
SafeSport has ordered a new investigation into whether Reid Reid was retaliated against for exposing the abuse she endured to the watchdog group.
Boutot said she also faced abuse by then- U.S. Biathlon junior team coach Vladimir Cervenka of the Czech Republic , starting in 2007 .
“I absolutely did not kiss her or grope her body,” he told AP via email.
