My final investigative piece of 2021 has been published. If unlimited print space was possible, there are so many more details I would share. The bottom line is this: Athletes who trained under Rembao, long ago and very recently, are speaking up. These are their stories.

The idea that only Peng Shuia is impacted is profoundly insulting. “Her rape isn’t important enough.” It is the human rights of all athletes, 1-in-4 women are sexually assaulted, 1-in-7 males. #ThinkBigger #AthleteAbuse #HumanRights
Haggerty says does not “want to punish a billion people” over sexual abuse allegations made by Peng Shuai. Haggerty is IOC member. WTA’s Steve Simon taken 180-degree opposite view. Defends Peng. He is not IOC member.

#SafeSport must Re-train the sport community: “Coaches shall not have romantic or sexual relationships with the athletes they coach, regardless of the athlete’s age or whether there is consent.” files.constantcontact.com/b1807338401/2a…
Katie Hanna - 48% of athletes are aware of coaches developing sexual relationships with other athletes... Power imbalance is present. What is a healthy athlete-coach relationship. #health4sport
The commercialization of intercollegiate athletics has resulted in predominantly white higher education leadership that turns a blind eye to the racism underlying the economic & educational exploitation of college athletes. Demand change today: thedrakegroup.org/tell-congress/…

#KyleRittenhouse found not guilty on all counts. This is how the systems conspire to entrench #WhiteSupremacy.
Unfortunately, this is a story all too common across industries. Wherever there is a lack of oversight, sexual predators are able to move through the system, as we've seen in our cases against #NCAA track coach John Rembao and against a USC gynecologist. nyti.ms/3AGdwyh
Not being abused as a young girl shouldn’t be about luck. Yet in our current system, the #NCAA turns the other cheek to abusive behavior. The NCAA must establish & enforce zero tolerance policies against sexual harassment. Protect student athletes! fortune.com/2021/11/03/nca…
Really important article from @ThomasSolstice on the need for the NCAA to step up and get sexually abusive coaches out of sports. Doesn’t seem like a big ask! @fast_women @CitiusMag @letsrundotcom @USTFCCCA fortune.com/2021/11/03/nca…
The NCAA's rules do too much to protect institutions and too little to help athletes—as the author learned when one of her coaches was sued. bit.ly/3EByGQi
Survivors of sexual abuse in @ncaa sports have no remedy - court says the organization isn’t responsible. 👉🏽Congress, your move. 👉🏽Sexual abuse is rampant in all levels of sport, novice, youth and professional, men (@OhioState @UMich @NHL) and women (@USAGym @NWSL @USASwimming)
"Now I look back on teenage memories and wish I could wrap my arms around those knobby elbows and protect that girl—protect her from the horrific potential of that gaze." fortune.com/2021/11/03/nca…
