Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the father...

Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the father of a young man killed when struck by a car driven by Olympic diving medalist Bruce Kimball have mounted a campaign to keep him from representing the United States in the Summer Olympics at Seoul.

Kimball, 25, is free on bail on two counts of vehicular homicide. His car slammed into five parked vehicles and a group of young people at a popular gathering spot on a dead-end road near Brandon, Fla., a bedroom community east of Tampa, Aug. 1.

Two people were killed and six others were injured.

Investigators said at the time that the accident “probably was alcohol related,” and blood samples were sent for blood-alcohol tests.

The results have been turned over to the state attorney’s office, which has not released them. But The Tampa Tribune reported over the weekend that it learned the alcohol content was 0.2, twice the level the state considers legally intoxicated.

Robert Bedell, whose 19-year-old son, Robbie, was killed, said Monday that he plans to write to U.S. Olympic diving officials seeking to have Kimball banned from competing for a spot on the U.S. team.

Tom Slatterly, president of the MADD chapter in Hillsborough County, said the organization is collecting protest letters from local residents and will send them on at the end of the week.

The Olympic diving trials are next week at Indianapolis. Kimball won a silver medal for platform diving in the 1984 Olympics but one of his attorneys said Kimball has not made a decision whether to compete at Indianapolis.
