I took the weekend to spend time with current & former University of Kentucky teammates after seeing the article/lawsuit that dropped. The general consensus is that we are disgusted, heartbroken, and ashamed to be affiliated with a program where anything like this could be alleged to have happened.

Lars was someone I trusted, loved, & respected. I would have gone to bat for him & defended him until the end. I feel entirely blind sighted & betrayed. To be extra clear here, I never saw or heard any of these claims taking place, but it isn't difficult to say I vehemently condemn all violence, especially sexual violence against women.

While I spend most of my time speaking to the harm and severity of allowing men into women's sports, we can't neglect or condone other issues that are far too common in female athletics like sexual abuse from authority figures. It's my mission to defend women (really, humanity) and this falls in line.

Time to process and digest is necessary for healing to occur. Regardless of the allegations, my stance is clear. Sexual predators should not be able to obtain or maintain a position of authority over anyone, much less a team of vulnerable, half-naked young women.
