I’m not really surprised. I interviewed Greg Louganis one time before he came “out of the closet” and he was tipping the Gaydar pretty strongly even back then. You figure a lot of homosexuals and pedophiles are attracted to trim, fit young bodies in tiny little trunks. Makes my skin crawl just thinking about it.
This creeps me out too. Our sons have been involved with competitive swimming over a period of years. I never heard anything like this from them, but another parent told me there was some creepy stuff going on a few years ago. I had the impression it was more in the nature of harassment among the boys on the team than coach on kid. However, the coaches turned a blind eye to it.
