permanently ineligible for USAG

USA Gymnastics updated a list of those no longer allowed to join (as of Feb. 14, 2011).

Some were convicted sex offenders. Some had lesser infractions. Likely a few are truly innocent, but somehow ended up on “the list”.

I only know one person here and make no claims to be able to evaluate who should be BANNED.

The following former professional members are permanently ineligible for membership within USA Gymnastics.

British Columbia Gymnastics Association Suspensions

USA Gymnastics has been notified that the British Columbia Gymnastics Association has permanently suspended membership in the BCGA for the following individuals:

John Henderson, Kamloops, BC Canada

Donald Ray Mathey, Langley, BC Canada

Wayne Andrews, Courtenay, BC Canada

I’m certainly willing to post a statement from anyone on this list who feels they were wronged. Or a statement from any coach who has the same name as someone here. USAG should have included the full legal name to help avoid confusion.
