Two-time national figure skating pairs champion John Coughlin has been suspended by U.S. Figure Skating following the upgrading of his SafeSport status from “interim restriction” to “interim suspension” on Thursday.
Coughlin appeared on the U.S. Center for SafeSport list on Dec. 17 and reports surfaced last week. At the time, the website showed Coughlin listed as “Interim Measure – Restriction.”
U.S. Figure Skating provided the following comment:
This action prohibits Coughlin from participating in any capacity, in any activity or competition authorized by, organized by, or under the auspices of USFS, USOC & NGBs, including USFS-member clubs and/or organizations.
