I'm not sure what facts you disagree with. The lifetime ban from coaching in Australia was handed down at the trial and was referenced in the Guardian piece that came out shortly after the trial that mbwallis linked to.
Regarding his failure to adhere to this by running the recent camps, Triathlon Australia was contacted. I was told that the sanctions could only be enforced at the level of the federation but that he would never again be certified as as coach within Australia or be involved in any way with the Australian team.
This kind of locality of enforcement is exactly the problem I'm talking about. All athletes around the world should be subject to the same level of protection from coaches with this type of history. At the very least, hopefully threads like this will help to inform some of the younger athletes who may not be aware of just how grievous and disgusting his acts were.
