But when someone uses my name falsely, without any basis in truth, I will always defend myself, and therefore I do not deserve to be threatened. I am aware that I am a strong and capable woman who has benefited from a lifetime of self-defense training. I have a platform and resources that most women do not have. Therefore, I stand in solidarity with women who are disrespected and threatened, and who do not have the power and means to defend themselves. And to defend the truth. I expect more from each of us as individuals and as a society… and I certainly expect more from the athletes in our sport, especially the former champions.
