In January, the university said the report was nearing completion. Four months later, there’s no sign of it—and no reason stated for the delay.
reported on the allegations and inquiry in November, Scholl gathered testimonials from other athletes in support of Wetmore and Burroughs and submitted them to investigators.
Some commenters questioned if Goucher’s post was hypocritical, especially given her frequent advocacy against the abuse of athletes. Goucher said she understands how the approach could be viewed as inconsiderate, though she also felt the comments took a nasty turn, bringing up criminal complaints and other situations that weren’t a part of the current CU investigation. She deleted it “because it was going to a place that wasn’t helping anyone,” she said.
She complained to Wetmore and to athletic director Dick Tharp at the time, but to her knowledge, no action was taken in response. She also spoke to the investigators conducting the current inquiry—in large part, she said, in hopes of changing the broader culture in the sport. Verdon said she already had disordered eating when she arrived at CU, but didn’t know how to get help. Her sophomore year, Burroughs pulled her aside and urged her to gain weight to protect her health, Verdon told. “I’m forever thankful for her, because she basically was like, ‘You need to eat every dessert you ever want—you need to gain this weight,’” Verdon said. “It saved me, honestly.”After that, Verdon said, Burroughs and Wetmore set a target minimum weight for her.
Beginning her junior year, Verdon struggled with injury—likely a consequence of long-term underfueling and a catalyst for new struggles with disordered eating, she said. At that point, she was no longer one of the team’s top runners and received far less individual attention from the coaches. “There’s no hard feelings there; I still was showing up,” she said. “But I think at that point, I kind of stopped loving running.
