Chad Noelle Suspended By USATF Safe Sport

Why drag me into your imagination? No, I'm not "still made" (sic) at any of these organizations or persons because of a SafeSport ban.

That was delicious. Thanks for posting.

If you had a high IQ. Wouldn't you be just fine anywhere?

I think safe sport is just discriminating against people named Chad. It's not his fault he perfectly defines his first name.

This is what kids today refer to as “telling on yourself.” You could talk to everyone ever from my life and poke and prod and I don’t think you could get enough for a serious case even if you took years. The fact that you think a case could be made against anyone by just talking to enough people is indicative more of you than of SafeSport.

I don't doubt that he is on the list, but in the link on Page 1, when I search his name, there isn't anything. So...is this legitimate?

Based on this social media, many of the right wing tomfoolery on this site is also Chad.

Why? They literally have a team of lawyers reviewing allegations, asking for documentation, talking to any source imaginable, reviewing facts, corroborating stories. In many cases MULTIPLE people heard and were a part of these awful incidents. If 5 people are telling the same story, you hear the same type of event happened multiple times, and you can see the hatered and gay slurs he posts from his social media, would it really be that hard to come to the conclusion he should be suspended from the sport? The process work. Chad is gone. Enjoy the coverage of the trails on peacock.

bingo! Like do you realize how serious these allegations need to be? This isn't some kangaroo court. Safesport bring in a team of international lawyers that argue before CAS to review this case. It was 7-8 months of investigations.

Raced Chad in high school XC back around 2010. I slipped in some mud and fell to the ground, getting trampled by dozens of other runners' spikes. Chad pushed everyone away from me and pulled me to my feet, helped me walk back to my parents on the sidelines, and then he went on to finish 10th in the race. Guy is a legend.

Also - if Chad was ever nice or pleasant to you, it’s because at that point he still believed you could be used to benefit him in some way

Making up hero Chad stories seems like fun. I want to have a go.

I ran into Chad at a local track. He asked me what I was doing and I told him I was running a 1600 TT on my birthday and that I have a streak of breaking 5 mins on my birthday every year. We wished me luck.

I am getting a lot older now, and breaking 5 is getting a lot harder. I went through 1200 at 3:45 but I was slowing down. He could tell I was going to miss it by a second or two, and I glanced over and saw him furiously sketching out equations on his coaching notepad like Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind. A local CU physics professor and nobel laureate happened to walk by, saw his equations, and his jaw dropped -- he had never seen anything like it. Chad stood behind behind me on the homestretch, having perfectly calculated the tailwind I would need to break 5, took a deep breath, and I swear a gust of wind came out -- he has the lungs of a god to go with that genius brain. I ran 4:59.8 and kept my streak going one more year!

Then he cracked open a brewski, handed it to me, and carried me like a baby to my car while I sipped.

It did sour a bit after that, though. He asked me which car was mine and I pointed at a Honda CRV. He got so mad that I didn't buy American that he dropped me on the asphalt, went to his car, got his rifle, and shot me in the foot. Now I have plantar fasciitis.

Still a legend.

This thread reminds me of big pharma shills pretending to be "anti-vax conspiracy theorists" with sub 70 IQ levels to make their opposition look bad.

SafeSport is just a way for schools to CYA in case one of their coaches diddles an athlete. If you think it's some Avengers like team of super lawyers you are living in crazy town.

crazy that is has no power, yet he'll be sitting at home watching his/athlete girlfriend from the trials. She won't make the Olympics, but he wouldn't be at that either. So whatever you think of them, they have power.

...chad only ran two cross country races in HS.
