The U.S. Center for SafeSport, the U.S. Olympic Committee's misconduct watchdog, and U.S. Figure Skating, the sport's national governing body, have suspended renowned figure skating coach Richard Callaghan, pending a new investigation of earlier allegations, nearly two decades after several male skaters made allegations of sexual misconduct against him.

This, I’m sad to say, doesn’t surprise me. I was warned about him at my old rink in Florida from a dressmaker/skate mom who’s been in the business for several decades. I’m glad the allegations are finally being taken seriously.

I thought 'again'? because I had forgotten the 'old USFSA' never really did anything.
Didn't he just coach for a while by reviewing videos from his home without going to the rink?
