Yeah! Sign me up for a coach who sexually assaults his athletes

It is wild how he sexual assaulted multiple woman and no one seems to care. It is not a shame he can’t coach in America. Safesport is correct there, even if as an institution they have their own problems.

I should probably google this but from where does safe sport obtain its authority to ban someone from coaching across the United States? I do not believe it is based on federal law. are there laws in all 50 states that delegate authority to state associations and then those delegate to safe sport? If I wanted to stand with a stopwatch in Central Park and call out splits to people who pay me would I need to register with safesport? Alberto should challenge the cosntitustioanotiy of it

Remember, Salazar has never had an athlete test positive for a banned substance; Schumacher has.

I thought Safe Sport was just about coaching in a school. It doesn't seem possible that if 2 adults, not associated with any school, want to form a professional relationship, that they wouldn't be allowed to do that.
