Embattled skeleton coach Tim Nardiello asked the U.S. Olympic Committee on Friday to reconsider its decision to deny him a credential for next month’s Turin Games, saying his team wants him to keep fighting.

In a letter sent by fax to the USOC, Nardiello – who earlier this week indicated he wasn’t planning to appeal further to coach the American team in Turin – asked to see all documents related to its four-week investigation into his conduct.

“They’re telling me I’m not going to the Olympics because they did an investigation based on those complaints,” Nardiello told the Associated Press. “We want to know what those complaints are. That’s what we’re asking for. We’re entitled to those before we can proceed.”

The USOC, which didn’t respond immediately to a request for comment, isn’t allowing Nardiello to coach the Olympic skeleton team, citing ethical violations and other issues. In a letter sent this week to Nardiello’s attorney, James Brooks of Lake Placid, N.Y., USOC general counsel Jeffrey Benz said the decision was final.

“I’m not abandoning my own ship,” Nardiello said. “I spent four years to get here and get this team to where they are. I know I can help them, and I know they want me there.”

The USOC’s decision came despite the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation reinstating Nardiello after an arbitrator decided no credible evidence existed to support sexual harassment claims filed against Nardiello.

He was put on leave Dec. 31 after two women, including the mother of 2002 Olympic gold medalist Tristan Gale, filed those accusations. At least three other grievances also were filed.

In denying Nardiello, the USOC cited eight reasons – including what it said constituted violations of rules prohibiting sex between coaches and athletes.

Nardiello has dated Kelly Moffat of New Zealand, whom he helped coach this season, for about a year and a half; they began dating two months before their coach-athlete relationship began.

The USOC must declare its roster of athletes and coaches for Turin to the International Olympic Committee by Monday.

“I’m hoping that they can just say they made a mistake about me and do the right thing,” Nardiello said.
