The former Oregon NCAA champ and current coach/boyfriend of Kaela Edwards (2023 World 800 qualifier) has been temporarily suspended by USATF for allegations of misconduct. The allegations stem from incidents of athlete verbal abuse toward Kaela. A number of people submitted complains to USATF about how Chad treated her and using homophobic slurs against some of his athletes.
USATF brought in an independent investigator who interview NUMEROUS athletes and witness and found that as they interviewed more, more awful behavior came to light and the investigation grew. Kaela agent was one of the folks to speak with Safe Sport.
Frankly, the stories about Chad are awful. He seems like he has a lot of hate in his heard and I am glad to see him go. He needs help. And to stop hurting athletes.
