On September 3, the U.S. Center for SafeSport announced that new visitors to its Centralized Disciplinary Database (CDD) were up 125 percent over the same period a year earlier. The increase followed a campaign launched in July: weekly press releases naming individuals newly added to the list, sent to national governing bodies, the USOPC, and the media. In the first month, the Center says, more than 6,300 new visitors reached the CDD. Regional outlets picked it up. The Denver Post ran a piece on
