More than four years after saying he had nothing to be sorry for, USA Swimming chief Chuck Wielgus finally apologized to victims of sexual abuse for the first time. Wielgus wrote a post on the organization's website that started with two words: ''I'm sorry.'' The apology referenced a much-criticized 2010 television interview in which a defiant Wielgus said he had done nothing wrong in the handling of dozens of sexual abuse cases under his leadership. I wish my eyes had been more open to the individual stories of the horrors of sexual abuse. Leaders who are not innovative, creative and caring thinkers and callously react only when forced into action are not true leaders but mere politicians.''
