The U.S. Center for SafeSport has reported USA Hockey to Congress for potential interference in investigation, according to a report from The Athletic.
U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley sent a letter to USA Hockey regarding its cooperation with an investigation being conducted by the U.S. Center for SafeSport. It reminded USA Hockey of its legal obligations of complying with an investigation and protecting its athletes from sexual abuse. Grassley cited the investigation into longtime U.S. women’s gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar and his sexual abuse of girls and women within the organization.
“As the Nassar case exemplifies, inaction may lead to many more victims being harmed, which would be intolerable,” Grassley wrote in the report.
