SafeSport Center to begin publicizing names of people who go on its banned list
The Center said public updates will include arbitration results and help parents and sport organizations find banned adults more easily.
- On Tuesday, July 21, 2026, the SafeSport Center announced it will begin sharing weekly news updates regarding individuals added to its Centralized Disciplinary Database, aiming to increase public awareness of disciplinary actions within the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement.
- Previously, individuals had to manually search the database to identify banned or restricted participants, limiting disciplinary information's reach. CEO Benita Fitzgerald Mosley said, "Knowledge is power and maintaining safe sport environments improves when information is as accessible as possible."
- The Centralized Disciplinary Database lists adults currently restricted or banned from participating in Olympic and Paralympic sport, spanning elite to grassroots levels. It complements background checks and criminal record screenings as a safety resource.
- Weekly updates will reach National Governing Bodies, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, and media outlets, expanding visibility of disciplinary actions. The Center hopes to "improve safeguarding through increased public awareness" via these distributions.
- The Center clarified the database represents a "snapshot in time" and is not a criminal or civil legal proceeding. Updates will include results from independent arbitration decisions where respondents challenged the Center's initial findings.
