Allegations of Misconduct

As US taekwondo athletes head to Colorado Springs for next week's Olympic trials, several allegations of misconduct are surfacing. The charges include underage drinking and sexual harassment.

The chief executive of U.S. Taekwondo, said he has imposed a zero tolerance policy on such misconduct.

Six current or former junior team members have told media they participated in or saw underage drinking 13 months ago during a competition in Vietnam.

A female member of the U.S. Olympic team in 2000, said younger team members were having sex with older members.
