As more former track stars come forward, coach denies allegations
More former track stars have come forward to file complaints with Athletics Canada, which is investigating sexual misconduct allegations against a high-profile coach.
Caulfield, whose documentary TV series A User’s Guide to Cheating Death is a hit on Netflix, competed with the Edmonton Olympic Club in the late 1970s and was coached by Ken Porter. No criminal charges have been laid, despite a complaint being made to police in 2007, and none of the accusations has been tested or proven in court.“Mr. Porter categorically denies the allegations made against him. He has been a well-respected volunteer in track and field for over 50 years and has always conducted himself in a professional manner,” lawyer Fady Mansour said in an email last week.
Ladner resident Chris Dallin filed a police complaint in 2007, alleging that when he was 15 and 16 years old, he was sexually abused in Edmonton and during a track meet in Saskatoon. Dallin said the Saskatoon police investigation was closed because of a lack of corroborating evidence.
