Skeleton Coach - Sexual Harassment Suspension

January 1, 2006 / by olympics

The U.S. Skeleton & Bobsled Federation has recently suspended the Womens Skeleton Coach, Tim Nardiello, due to accusations made by veteran skeletoners. As reported recently by the New York Times, a few women athletes went public and cited several examples of verbal harassment and unwelcome touching in recent years. Along with this federation's investigation in the upcoming days, USOC will also closely monitor and communcate with these USSBF officials.

    Not unexpectedly, US Womens Skeleton Coach, Tim Nardiello, filed with the New York Supreme Court to intervene in deciding whether the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation's suspension of Nardiello due to sexual harassment accusations, is warranted. The Federation has been ordered to prove its positions while the allegations are investigated in a court session on Monday, January 9.

    In an order issued Thursday by the New York Supreme Court, Judge James P. Dawson called for the hearing and ordered that U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton president Jim Shea Sr., show cause to keep the court from granting a preliminary injunction that would reinstate Nardiello as coach.
