Deadspin
Tim Nardiello, coach of the U.S. Olympic skeleton squad has been fired; via e-mail no less. A month or so back, Nardiello was suspended after he was accused of sexually harassing female team members. Among the accusations were tales of unauthorized ass-patting, and him telling a team member, "The only time I want to see your legs spread like that is if I am between them."
He was ordered to stay away from the team as they trained in Switzerland, and was not granted a credential to coach in the Torino games. I'm not sure how that's different from just firing him, but Nardiello opted to go to Switzerland anyway, and thus, he has been canned.
The USOC had eight different reasons for denying him the credential, one of which was his violatoin of their no-sex-between-coaches-and-athletes rule. He has reportedly been engaging in some hardcore luge action with New Zealand skeletoner (I don't think that's a word) Kelly Moffat, who has her own website here.
I think it's safe to say that no one in the world has gotten more enjoyment out of the world of skeleton than has Tim Nardiello.
