Ariana Kukors Smith, an Olympic swimmer who earlier this year accused her former coach of sexually abusing her as a teenager, filed a lawsuit on Monday against him and U.S.A. Ms. Smith, 28, said that U.S.A. Swimming, the organization that governs the sport in the United States, was alerted to the relationship in 2010 but did nothing. On Monday, B. Robert Allard, Ms. Smith’s lawyer, called U.S.A. Swimming’s investigation a “sham.”Ms. Smith said in the lawsuit that U.S.A. Swimming officials looked the other way because Mr. Hutchison delivered Olympic-level athletes.
