Kara Goucher and CU Come out in Support of Wetmore During Investigation

Sorry not sure that link worked or maybe it was taken down?

Are they trying to fire them? why are they coming out all over again?

Kara Goucher: "Didn't happen to me, so it's fine, but if it did happen to me, you'd hear about it! Alot..."

Also, Lauren Fleshman hints at eating disorders amongst the CU team during her recruitment trip there in 2000-2001 in her book. But also praises Wetmore.

First the Matrix comes for the Top G, now they come for the OG? They can stay jealous of Wetmore because he is a TRUE MASTER, but no one is going to take the Alpha down!

A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. Hearing from all the success story types isn't really helpful to paint a true picture of the program or the people running it. Kara's getting much (deserved) clap-back in the responses to her "rules for me and rules for thee" whataboutism post. Sorry, but her SM crusade is inappropriate, incredibly hypocritical, and honestly her bias is obvious in that she only supports whatever serves her narrow, present circumstances. Imagine if this investigation had happened right after she and Adam moved to Portland when Wetmore showed them the door, she would have sung a very different tune.

The hiring of Coach Prime gives the AD a lot more cover to get rid of him if that's what he wants to do.

I read through the whole thread and have been unable to ascertain whether or not this guy is being accused of something and, if so, what.

It's your typical woke CU witch hunt. Basically, a JV level player is trying to take down the entire program because they couldn't cut it.

University of Colorado Conducts Investigation Into Legendary Running Program

Former student athletes allege a fixation on weight and medical privacy violations, among other complaints.

he's being accused of violating hipaa among other things. Honestly, the no one asked us bit rings hollow regardless of what anyone thinks of the accusers. The world just doesn't revolve around Kara.

Imagine that your friend is being accused of murder.

And your defense of your friend is, "Well, he never murdered ME."

That's Kara's defense of Wetmore

In life I have found that being outspoken and morally righteous is tough. Inevitably you will be forced to be a hypocrite.

Easy solution- don't go around being vocally morally righteous.

also, update, she deleted. Not surprising given the amount of pushback she was getting.

"Wetmore never murdered me, therefore he's not a murderer!"

Why would the experience of numerous athletes not have an impact on the judgement of Wetmore’s coaching practices?

Also to those who said top level athletes’ opinions shouldn’t count...I would expect to see more pressure to maintain a certain weight in this group. For every individual and team Champion Wetmore has its recognition and a cash bonus.

Seems to me if the people Wetmore was paid for(You don’t stay employed based on the depth of your B-team) reflect positive experiences then that’s a very important set of data points.

She's a phony caving to a mob regardless of whether or not her post had any merit.

True, the world does not revolve around her but why is she the only one singled out? Not Emma or Slattery? They all wrote statements. Funny how she got thrashed but no one else is getting the same hate.

Completely fair. And Emma took the route of least resistance posting in her story and not on her page for comments. others posted it on their instagrams so you can read it here, if you didn't get a chance to.

Holy sh!t! Wetmore's been accused of murder?!!!

Metivier's post informs us about the character of Mark Wetmore and, in combination with us, tells us of the kinds of actions he did take over many years, which is relevant to examining this particular set of accusations because we see that he made it his practice to deal in a healthy fashion with his athletes. It is not irrelevant.
