flag U.S. Center for SafeSport failed to ban gymnastics coach Sean Gardner for misconduct despite credible evidence, allowing him to work in 2024 until his 2025 federal arrest.

flag The U.S. Center for SafeSport failed to impose a lifetime ban on gymnastics coach Sean Gardner in 2025 despite his willingness to accept one, even after finding credible evidence of misconduct, including installing hidden cameras in a girls’ gym bathroom. flag Allegations date back to 2017, and though Gardner was temporarily suspended in 2022, SafeSport did not finalize a permanent sanction, allowing him to work as a surgical technologist in Iowa in 2024. flag His case remained unresolved until his August 2025 arrest on federal child pornography charges, with critics calling the delay a failure akin to the Larry Nassar scandal. flag SafeSport stated it follows fair procedures but did not explain why the ban was not finalized.
