Summary

Three months after U.S. speedskater Simon Cho admitted to damaging a Canadian opponent's skate during the 2011 World Championships, an independent investigation found no evidence he was ordered to do so by his former coach.

"We did not arrive easily at our conclusions," the investigators wrote. "While the highly credible National Racing Program group was supportive of Coach Chun both privately and publicly, his behavior was at times not exemplary, and some of the allegations brought by the unsigned skaters were disturbing. It was apparent to us that the unsigned athletes were sincerely hurt by his behavior and that it diminished their love of the sport. We also recognize that the effect of this behavior was worsened by the many broader problems at the USS, the review of which is beyond our mandate. We were asked to address the narrow questions of whether Coach Chun's and assistant coach Yeo's conduct rose to the level of physical or mental or emotional abuse. We have concluded that it did not."
