So arrested but not formally charged; computers seized but nothing confirmed found. One complaint.
I need a little more evidence. Unfortunately Sharp has already been hung.

Unfortunately today it's guilty until proven (kinda) innocent. No longer innocent til proven guilty.
I would like more info before forming an opinion.

In this day and age you have to take all charges of sexual abuse seriously. Its unfortunate because for as many people that are too afraid to come forward, the are as many people who have no problem coming forward with lies.
Part of me wonders which Susie got told she wasn't going to make it to Rio/Tokyo/2024 and little Susie and Mama Susie got mad and wanted to retaliate.....
Side note. Sharp's website looks like 1999...but it appears to not have been updated since 2011...but still..no excuse

It's sad, but that is where my mind went to first.
I definitely think all sexual based charges should be taken seriously; hello, I still can't look at Subway, but give me some evidence and then I'll hang him. As it stands now, proven innocent and it won't matter---his life is over.

Wait what? Why do we need to ruin other people's lives in the first place? Why is it up to us to do that? :confused:

I meant the news. Anyone who has even been indicated in a sex scandal will pretty much tell you the same thing; once it was made public, their lives were over for all intents and purposes. It doesn't matter if they're innocent or not.

Yeah I know lol... That's kinda my point. These scandals are initially "news" and then they turn into "not news". More like "gossip stories about people's personal lives". And then people run with it.
Anyways, I hope this coach isn't guilty and it's just an angry family. But like you said, doesn't matter if he is or not now.

Unfortunately, I just checked online for updates on this, and it does sound like there is evidence of more than just one families say so. I found this story: Indianapolis coach of Olympic gymnasts charged with child molesting, sexual misconduct
This has got to be a very crushing thing to the gymnastics community - he has been one of the top, top coaches for years.

yeah but I don't think Marta likes her.
Which is sad, because she's fab.
...can Texas or California just become their own country so we can send twelve to Worlds?

Ughhh Russia... what happened at the 2015 Russian Cup? The only one who looked Worlds ready was Paseka. Having said that, they had some very strong uneven bar routines. No Mustafina for Worlds though... please let this not be a rough world championships for them.
Oh man, I didn't think I could like her even more... ladies and gentleman, I present to you - Cătălina Ponor. Even at the age of 28, she has proven that she can still be a asset to the Romanian team:
