During that investigation, Woessner claims she was to &#8220;provide contact information for potential witnesses to the investigator, provide status updates from outside legal to then-Executive Director\u00a0<strong>Chuck Wielgus<\/strong> and at the request of outside legal, contact potential witnesses and ask them to speak with the investigator.<\/p>\n<p>Kukors, who recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/2009-world-champion-ariana-kukors-alleges-former-coach-sean-hutchison-sexually-abused-her\/\" target=\"_blank\">accused Hutchison of sexual assault<\/a>, wrote that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/295036-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">she lied to a USA Swimming investigator that called her asking about a relationship with Hutchison<\/a>\u00a0and that no one ever visited her in person to interview her.<\/p>\n<p>Woessner explained that she was proud of her work with Safe Sport, but &#8220;in order to keep the focus on the tremendous efforts of my friends, colleagues and personal heroes working every day to keep kids safe, I have submitted my resignation&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>USA Swimming stated in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usaswimming.org\/news-landing-page\/2018\/02\/22\/safe-sport-senior-director-susan-woessner-resigns\" target=\"_blank\">a release<\/a> that &#8220;the incident in question did not conflict with any organizational rules prior to her subsequent position working in Safe Sport in 2010. Considering Woessner\u2019s Safe Sport role, a disclosure of this interaction should have preceded an investigation involving Hutchison in December 2010.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Also in the release, USA Swimming CEO\u00a0<strong>Tim Hinchey\u00a0<\/strong>explained that the organization remains committed to Safe Sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince its inception, the effort and work of the Safe Sport program have been among the leading initiatives in amateur sport,\u201d\u00a0Hinchey said. \u201cWe are committed to carrying on with the efforts Susan led, supported by the Board of Directors and the organization, to create a safe environment for children and swimming families across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read her full letter below or by clicking <a
