Lawsuit alleges USOPC and USSS knew of coach’s behaviorPhotograph: Bob Thomas/Bob Thomas Sports Photography/Getty ImagesPhotograph: Bob Thomas/Bob Thomas Sports Photography/Getty ImagesOlympic bronze medalist Rosey Fletcher has filed a lawsuit accusing former snowboard coach Peter Foley of sexually assaulting, harassing and intimidating members of his team for years, while the organizations overseeing the team did nothing to stop it.

'Everyone should get behind it': Australian NBA export Jock Landale criticises Cairns' decision not to wear pride jerseyOlympic bronze medallist and Phoenix Suns forward Jock Landale has said he would '100 per cent' wear a pride jersey, and hopes the NBA follows the NBL's lead. There's a difference being supporting gay rights and being forced to promote the rainbow flag political agenda. Happened to a hockey player in the USA recently too. Why? We still live in a free country. The way the alphabet has gone I don’t blame them for not supporting drag queens performing to kids. Blokes competing in women’s sports. They can get married now.
