Alex Naddour, the 2016 Olympic pommel horse bronze medalist, has been banned by USA Gymnastics.
Naddour’s suspension was on grounds relating to two USA Gymnastics bylaws, including one regarding allegations of sexual misconduct and the other on interim measures before complaints are resolved, but neither the gymnast nor USA Gymnastics said why he was suspended.
“I have no idea what is happening or why, we are trying to contact safe sport for any information,” was tweeted from Naddour’s account. Naddour did not return messages seeking comment.
“USA Gymnastics cannot comment publicly on membership matters unless an action taken involves a public result, such as being placed on the list of individuals whose membership is suspended or who is permanently ineligible for membership,” USA Gymnastics said in a statement.
