Darryl Seibel Matter Quotations

It does matter. Not just to the U.S. Olympic Committee. It matters to the American public. It matters to our broadcast partners. Now, to us as an Olympic Committee, it is not the only thing that matters.

These are very serious allegations. We will immediately begin to investigate these claims and if we determine there has been misconduct on the part of the coach, the appropriate disciplinary action will be taken. This matter will receive immediate and complete attention.

There should be absolutely no confusion about how a matter such as this is to be handled by a National Governing Body. We review the anti-doping protocols with our N.G.B.'s and we expect every N.G.B. to strictly comply with these protocols. We have made the leadership of the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation acutely aware of our concern over how this matter was handled.
