U.S. Ski & Snowboard is investigating allegations that longtime Olympic coach Peter Foley took pictures of naked female athletes and that Olympic snowboard racer Hagen Kearney used racist language to provoke a teammate.
Former snowboardcross rider Callan Chythlook-Sifsof, a member of the 2010 Olympic team, wrote in an Instagram post that in addition to taking the photos, Foley had made inappropriate comments, and that Kearney repeatedly used the N-word to "intentionally get under my skin."
Chythlook-Sifsof is from Alaska and describes herself as Yupik and Inupiaq.
