I’m still banned from the Olympic Training Center by the USOPC with no access to sports rehab, medical support, or even a safe place to lift. 

Since the injury, hip thrusts have been the hardest lift to rebuild. They require control, precision, and someone I trust to spot me. My coach flew in to help me return safely. But now he’s gone. And I’m still banned from the Olympic weight room and Sports Med.

I’m doing what I can coordinating with others for help but I shouldn’t have to patch together safety just to train. Especially for an injury I got while testing out bobsleds for Team USA.

I’m fighting to stay healthy and keep progressing, but this situation puts my recovery and my career at risk.

That’s not just unfair, it’s dangerous.

For an Olympic level athlete, this isn’t just inconvenient. It’s unacceptable.

Legally, ethically, and scientifically athletes with documented injuries should never be denied access to the facilities meant to support their recovery. But I’ve had to patch together safety just to keep training. I’m doing what I can, but this situation puts both my health and my Olympic career at risk.

And for anyone saying “I Googled it you have access now,” no, I don’t. A ban being “rescinded” doesn’t mean I can walk back in. It just means they moved the punishment end date. I’m still locked out.
