Reply to comment by batpot in Snowboarders sue ex-coach, federation, USOPC for sex trafficking. by PrincessBananas85

I went to Oregon and this is the first I’m hearing of sex trafficking allegations about the track team/staff. I wasn’t able to find anything online. Can you provide a source?

I think I was misremembering that story. Was not a sexual assault just cut throat training regiment.

Yeah, Oregon and Nike were slowly killing their female athletes. Combination of overworking and malnutrition so they would look good on Nike ads.

Happened on the football team as well. Wasn’t unique to one sport unfortunately

Football situation was a bit different and still bad. Taggert had one intense day of workouts which caused injury to players. The track situation was constant abuse and overworking.

yes, some sports abuse scandals are nonsexual, and passed off as aggressive motivation or something like that

I mentioned it initially, it was still a scandal, but more in line with the reason Katelyn Ohashi quit gymnastics.

It's not in the same arena as systemic sexual assault.
