Harding to face hearing about attack
The Associated Press
The association said that Harding's motion for a temporary restraining order "is merely a continuum of her pattern of attempting to delay and interfere with administrative proceedings."
PORTLAND, Ore. — The U.S. Figure Skating Association, in a strongly worded court document filed yesterday, said that Tony Harding had no right to ask a court to block a hearing that could result in her banishment from the sport.
Association officials are proceeding with plans for a hearing tomorrow in Colorado Springs, Colo., on whether to throw Harding out of the sport for her alleged role in the attack on Nancy Kerrigan.
The association also dismissed Harding's argument that she did not have enough time to prepare for the hearing and that her participation would prejudice her position in a criminal investigation into the attack.
The association noted that Harding would be able to present and cross-examine witnesses at the hearing and that she could refuse to answer questions at the hearing under her constitutional right against self-incrimination without adversely affecting her
In an 18-page response to Harding's request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to stop the hearing, the association argued that the court had no jurisdiction in the matter.
The association said the Amateur Sports Act of 1978 gave it exclusive jurisdiction over whether Harding should be disciplined.
case before the hearing panel.
Earlier, the head of the panel remained steadfast about proceeding with the hearing.
"The panel continues to believe that the hearing will be held on Thursday at 9 a.m.," Bill Hybl said. "The panel is very carefully following the bylaws of the United States Figure Skating Association to provide due process and a fair hearing."
In the lawsuit filed Monday, Harding's lawyers said that unless the hearing was stopped, "she will undoubtedly be found 'guilty' of violating some USFSA rule and deprived of her membership registration. That will effectively end her competitive figure skating career."
U. S. District Judge Owen Panner had scheduled a hearing for 2 p.m. yesterday.
The lawsuit was filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court. The association's lawyers swiftly succeeded in moving the case to federal court, where they feel they have a better chance for success.
Harding's lawyers contend that she has not had time to prepare a proper defense because she spent two weeks at the Olympic Games and six days preparing for the legal challenge that ensured her participation in those Games.
Harding wants Panner to prevent the association from taking any action that would keep her from participating in the World Figure Skating Championships, which begin March 22 in Chiba, Japan. She also wants the hearing put off until she has had adequate time to prepare her defense and until the investigation and potential
prosecution are completed
Harding continued to prepare for the championships today, skating at her home rink at a suburban mall.
The five-member investigative panel found on Feb. 5 reasonable cause to think that Harding was involved with or knew of the plot to assault Kerrigan. Harding's ex-husband, Jeff Gillooily, has pleaded guilty to racketeering for his part in the scheme.
Harding filed a $25 million lawsuit against the U.S. Olympic Committee last month, challenging a hearing the committee planned to consider removing her from the Olympic team. The lawsuit was dropped when the committee canceled the hearing.
Gilloollo says Harding was in on the plot and gave the final go-ahead. Kerrigan was struck above the right knee with a metal police baton in Detroit on Jan. 6 when she was preparing for the U.S. championships.
In addition to the injunction and temporary restraining order, Monday's lawsuit seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
In an affidavit, Harding's attorney Bob Weaver said, "The evidence the hearing panel has identified as supporting its charges is identical to the evidence which supports the allegations against Ms. Harding in the criminal investigation."
He said he was "aware of factual evidence that directly contradicts serious allegations being made about Ms. Harding by Mr. Gillooly." But the witness who can confirm that evidence is under investigation in the Kerrigan case and can't testify for Harding until those circumstances change.
