According to The Wall Street Journal, USA Swimming is being investigated by a grand jury based on claims of sexual abuse of swimmers as well as the possibility that the organization may have collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in rebates from its in-house insurance company in a manner that is improper.

Swimswam.com noted, “The allegations presented in the WSJ article are not new, and have been swirling for years. There have been previous reports of the U.S. Department of Justice and/or the FBI investigating national governing bodies. On the other hand, the WSJ‘s reporting of a grand jury is a new development that we haven’t reported on before.”
