U.S. Ski & Snowboard Interfering in Peter Foley Investigation, U.S. Senator Says

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who is on the Senate Judiciary Committee that investigated sexual abuse in Olympic sports, wrote a letter saying U.S. Ski & Snowboard has interfered with an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against longtime coach Peter Foley.

Rachel Axon of USA Today reported on the letter and noted the U.S. Center for SafeSport has been investigating Foley and temporarily suspended him. U.S. Ski & Snowboard confirmed Monday that he is no longer the coach.

The U.S. Center for SafeSport is an organization tasked with investigating allegations of sexual misconduct within Olympic sports and opened in 2017 after individual governing bodies previously mishandled such allegations.
