This is not how the swimming association businessmen expected to spend their weekend in Eilat, as part of the Open Water World Cup round.
The exclusive publication last night (Wednesday) in Israel Today, about the affair between one of Israel's top coaches and who was one of the most famous swimmers of the past and his apprentice, revealed a Pandora's box not even in the swimming association.
"Israel Today" has learned that in the past a complaint was filed within the association about another case of him and another swimmer who at the time was still a minor, but as in the case of the adult swimmer, here too the club preferred to sweep the affair under the carpet.
In addition, another swimmer told "Israel Hayom" that she also felt uncomfortable in the coach's company more than once and that "he is known to like young women".
So how did they choose his association and the swimming association to sweep under the carpet?
They allowed the two, whose novel was published last night, to go to a joint training camp in Europe in preparation for one of the biggest competitions in the world, where the swimmer competed two summers ago.
This caused uneasiness among people close to the coaches, and according to union officials, he assured them that further cases would not occur.
As mentioned, the swimming association wants the Olympic committee to handle the case for them, but two questions remain open?
How many team coaches, personal trainers and other senior officials are walking around the Israeli Swimming Association today who knew about what was going on, and why Emily Burns, the respected CEO of the Swimming Association, has been silent for almost 24 hours and does not convey a message to the problematic association and the Israeli Olympic Committee, that she expects a comprehensive investigation to see if they exist More cases right now, in Israeli swimming.
