Unfortunately predators will use any means to access their prey. T&F and athletics are not immune and provide cover for so many with very bad intentions.
The one on one nature of many of our Olympic sports seem to open them up even more for opportunities for abuse.

I know I had 3 coaches in HS> college and I know 2 of them had whispers of bad behavior involving girls. That's just my own personal history.
Hopefully there is less stigma in coming forward now than in the past, and there are things like Safe Sport to help notify teams and organizations about past behaviors, so we can weed out these people.
