PHILADELPHIA — The latest report into allegations of abuse in American women’s soccer was published on Tuesday by the National Women’s Soccer League and the NWSL Players’ Association.
This one is the result of a joint investigation by the league, the union, and law firms each entity hired that started October of last year, after The Athletic published detailed allegations against former Philadelphia Independence, Portland Thorns, and North Carolina Courage manager Paul Riley.
The new report claimed it studied “all reports of inappropriate conduct” toward players in the league since its launch in 2012. The investigators said they conducted more than 200 interviews and reviewed some 200,000 documents.
