WEST ALLIS - A local Olympic hopeful who came forward recently about being abused by an adult teammate when she was 15 says she's been contacted by other potential victims. 31 year old Bridie Farrell who is training at the Pettit Center for the 2014 Olympics claims Speedskating icon and Marquette University graduate Andy Gabel molested her in the 1990's when he was 33 years old. Farrell says since she came forward she's heard from other woman making similar claims against Gabel when they were teens. After Farrell leveled the allegations against Gabel he resigned from all of his positions with U.S. and International Speedskating.
