Snowboarding Coach Faces New Accusations of Sexual Misconduct

Longtime U.S. Olympic snowboarding coach Peter Foley, accused of sexual misconduct by a former athlete during the Winter Games in February and relieved of his duties over the weekend, faces a broader, formal investigation into new allegations of sexual assault.

Lindsey Sine Nikola, who worked for U.S. Ski and Snowboard from 2006 to 2010, told The New York Times that she had been sexually assaulted by Foley and contacted the U.S. Center for SafeSport last week.

Nikola is one of at least four women who have accused Foley, according to allegations first reported by ESPN.
