Swim, Damn It!

From our friends at Deadspin.com comes this little ditty; A Ukrainian coach is stripped of his accreditation after fighting with one of his swimmers during the World Championships. The altercation began when the young lady wouldn’t let the man hug her.


Wait…it gets better. The coach is also the girl’s father and the incident was captured on video! We’re not talking some ticky-tack NBA fight here…we’re talking all-out assault, with the unidentified girl more than holding her own against the creep! Local Australian authorities are investigating the incident and may press charges.


Apparently, the World Swimming Championships are a more happening event than we’ve been led to believe. Earlier, Russian Diving coach, Vladimir Rulev, appeared in court for grabbing a hotel security guard’s breast in a drunken stupor.


At least the security guard wasn’t his own flesh and blood!


Allright, I know we’ve all got a tale or two about abusive sports parents, but does this one take the cake? Wouldn’t you just love to see Serena Williams do this to her obnoxious old man?
