The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee has fired a coach and a director after The Associated Press reported that the coach was accused of sexually abusing a young biathlete. Olympic spokesperson Jon Mason says Paralympic team coach Gary Colliander and team director Eileen Carey were fired on March 14. He did not give a reason but said Colliander was put on administrative leave in December, after the AP reported the alleged abuse while he was a coach at the Maine Winter Sports Center. The U.S. Center for SafeSport, which investigates abuse in Olympic sports, is investigating Colliander. Carey was the vice president of the center when the abuse occurred and was with the Paralympic team when Colliander was hired.
