Sexual abuse in swimming
Sexual abuse of athletes has been in the news recently in the wake of claims by Deena Deardurff Schmidt, an Olympic swimming gold medalist at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, that between the ages 11 and 15 she was repeatedly molested by her swim coach. 
Schmidt said she did not tell anyone at the time for fear it would hurt her swimming career, only told her parents at age 17, and, up to recently, had only shared the information with a few coaches and close friends.
