Four New USA Swimming Members Added to U.S. Center for Safesport Database

A flurry of new names were added to the U.S. Center for SafeSport sanctions database in the last quarter of the year from the sport of swimming, with most facing temporary restrictions.
John Smith from Westbrook, Maine was added on December 19th with temporary restrictions that include no contact directives, coaching/training restrictions, and no unsupervised coaching/training. SwimSwam is working to confirm the exact identity of John Smith and his connection to swimming, because it is such a common name, and will update with more details when we are able to do so.
Ryan Carroll from Yuma, Arizona was added to the database on December 3rd amid allegations of misconduct as well. He is specifically limited to Coaching / Training Restriction(s), Contact / Communication Limitation(s), Locker Room Restriction(s), No Contact Directive(s), and Travel / Lodging Restriction(s). Carroll is the former pool manager and head coach of the Yuma Heat Swim Club, though he is no longer listed on the club’s coaching staff online.
Joseph “Tony” Ciaravino from St. Louis was given a no temporary no contact director after allegations of misconduct. He is the former pool manager and head coach of the summer league team at Norwood Hills Country Club.
Elias Econopouly from Rhinebeck, New York was given a temporary suspension (not restrictions) for allegations of misconduct. A former member of the varsity team at Florida Tech, he was charged with possession of child pornography in 2019 when he was 19, a class E felony. SwimSwam was unable to locate any court records about that case beyond several local news reports, and it’s unclear why this suspension is being put in place five years later.
And finally, Anthony Daly, a San Mateo, California coach accused over the summer of sending sexually explicit content to a minor, was ruled ineligible by the US Center for SafeSport because of a criminal disposition involving a minor and criminal disposition involving sexual misconduct. This is an upgrade from the temporary suspension that he was given when the charges arose earlier this year.

The world’s first child conceived using the technology of maturing an egg outside a woman’s body was born in Peru

In the Peruvian capital of Lima, at the Santa Isabel clinic, the world’s first child was born, conceived using the technology of maturing an egg outside a woman’s body. Information about this was confirmed by the American biotechnology company Gameto through Business Wire, writes pravilamag.ru.

A unique conception became possible thanks to the innovative Fertilo technique – a modified version of in vitro fertilization (IVF). The peculiarity of the method is the use of laboratory-grown ovarian support cells obtained from stem cells to ensure the maturation of the egg outside the body. The medical community calls this achievement a turning point in the development of reproductive technologies.

The main advantage of the Fertilo method, according to Gameto specialists, is the absence of the need to undergo hormonal stimulation, which usually precedes classic IVF for 10-14 days. The technology is currently undergoing clinical trials in the United States, and has already received official approval in a number of countries, including Peru, Australia, Paraguay, Argentina, Mexico and Japan.

Looking Back on 2024: The United States has Given the Green Light to GM Wheat

This is one of our top stories of 2024, as we look back on the biggest newsmakers of the year.

Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. has just achieved a major milestone with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) giving the green light to its HB4 wheat technology.

The USDA’s favourable Regulatory Status Review (RSR), conducted by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), has determined that HB4 wheat does not pose any increased plant pest risk compared to conventional wheat. This ruling effectively clears the path for HB4 wheat production in the United States, which ranks as the fourth largest wheat producer globally and the largest in the Americas.

This USDA approval is a significant addition to the HB4 wheat platform, which had already received a nod from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for food and feed use. The U.S. now joins Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay as the latest country to approve the production of HB4 wheat.

Beyond these regions, the technology has been authorized for food and feed use in countries including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Nigeria, and Indonesia. Australia, a key wheat-producing nation facing growing water shortages, recently granted Bioceres a license to conduct field trials — an essential step towards future production.

Bioceres will share more details on its HB4 wheat platform during its upcoming Earnings Call on Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 8:30 a.m. ET. This USDA approval could mark a pivotal moment for Bioceres as it seeks to solidify its presence in the global wheat market while addressing pressing agricultural challenges like drought tolerance and food security.
