Its 18-month investigation found that Petr “Gara” Garabik had engaged in repeated sexual harassment and unwanted sexual contact with Reid.
“New women on the team were warned about him,” Reid told the AP.
Garabik told the AP in an email that the case against him was "complete nonsense from the start."
By that I mean other team members.”Last May, six months after SafeSport concluded its investigation, U.S. Biathlon retroactively changed the criteria for being pre-qualified for the World Cup team — and Reid was bumped off.
During the SafeSport investigation Reid underwent hours of questioning, a process that retraumatized her, she said.
