Global law firm Shearman & Sterling is serving as pro bono
counsel to USRowing – the national governing body of the
sport of rowing that operates under the auspices of the United
States Olympic and Paralympic Committee – in response to
recent reports of alleged sexual abuse by a coach.
Shearman & Sterling is conducting an independent
investigation into the allegations that former U.S. rower and team
coach Ted A. Nash engaged in sexual contact with a minor in the
early 1970s. The allegations were loosely portrayed in the 2018
movie "The Tale". The firm will prepare a report after it
concludes the investigation.
USRowing is a nonprofit organization recognized by the United
States Olympic & Paralympic Committee as the governing body for
the sport of rowing in the United States. USRowing selects, trains
and manages the teams that represent the U.S. in international
competition, including the world championships, Pan American Games,
and Olympic Games.
