From Hardsnow:

Most folks have heard the news by now, but in case you haven’t, here’s roughly what happened:
The men’s D-Team had a training camp at Mt. Hood that ended on Wednesday.  After the camp, newly minted Ski Team member Sandy Vietze (formerly of Green Mountain Valley School) apparently had a few 8 cocktails and got on the plane.  Not that uncommon of a practice for many US Ski Teamers, although he is underage.  A little while into the flight, he got up to pee, but, in his apparently rather drunken daze, he peed on an 11-year old girl instead of the toilet.  She was on her way to visit her grandmother.  She was traveling with her father, who is a stage 4 cancer patient.  It was the family’s first visit to the grandmother’s house since the cancer diagnosis.

From the NY Post:
A drunken JetBlue passenger who reportedly urinated on an 11-year-old girl mid-flight has been identified as a member of the U.S. Ski Team, according to the New York Post. And the incident may have cost him a chance to compete in the 2014 Olympics in Russia.

The Post says Robert “Sandy” Vietze, 18, was removed from the team’s development roster on Thursday afternoon, but officials have declined to comment on his status.

No stranger to drunknen debauchery, Bill Marolt had a swift and clear response:

Dear Johnny,

As you may have heard, U.S. Alpine Development Ski Team member Sandy (Robert) Vietze was arrested early Thursday morning after an incident on a flight from Oregon to JFK in which he reportedly urinated on an 11-year-old girl. Sandy admitted to having a number of alcoholic beverages.

This behavior is in direct violation of the “USSA Code of Conduct” and “Team Agreement”. We have taken immediate, clear and concise action and dismissed Sandy from the team. Our athletic staff spoke to him Thursday to convey our direction.

Please contact me personally if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Bill Marolt
President and CEO
U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association
