Investigation Unveils Issues within Amateur Athletic Union

4 weeks ago 0

An investigation has uncovered troubling findings within a key nonprofit sports organization, the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). Reports suggest the AAU has become a refuge for coaches facing allegations of misconduct.

Over the past year, ProPublica reporter Molly Hensley-Clancy has examined how entities in youth sports have faltered in safeguarding athletes from sexual abuse. Systems that fail to prevent barred coaches from continuing to work with youth athletes were also scrutinized.

This story stems from a collaboration between The Washington Post and ProPublica, an organization dedicated to exposing abuses of power through investigative journalism.
