LOS ANGELES — Peter Foley, the former Team USA snowboard coach fired by his federation and later sued by three national team snowboarders, was suspended for 10 years Tuesday by the U.S. Center for SafeSport. Foley was suspended for sexual misconduct and for violating the federation's policies and bylaws, the center said in a public post. Ski and Snowboard federation fired Foley in March 2022, citing a workplace investigation that revealed a "toxic culture." The dismissal came two days after the Center for SafeSport, which handles investigations into sexual abuse in national amateur sports, temporarily suspended Foley pending its probe. "Any allegations of sexual misconduct being made against him are false," Howard Jacobs, the attorney for Foley, told ESPN at the time.
