SafeSport sees big jump in visitors to banned database after announcing
sanctions publicly
DENVER (AP) --- The U.S. Center for SafeSport more than doubled the number of
new visitors to its online Centralized Disciplinary Database in the month after
it started making public announcements about people placed on its banned list.
The center said Thursday that 6,300 new visitors looked at the database between
July 21 --- the date the initiative was launched --- and Aug. 20. That marked a
125% increase over the previous period in 2025.
The center, in charge of combating abuse in Olympic sports, has long published
the database. But without publicizing who lands on the list, people had to
access the database and know who they were looking for to learn about banned
and restricted people in their orbit.
Now, the center delivers a weekly email with updates about people added to the
list; the updates include cases taken to arbitration that have reached a
decision.
In addition to sports media, among those who commonly receive the email are
national governing bodies and club owners.
"Recognizing how underutilized this tool has been, we are investing in
amplifying it nationwide with the hope of increasing transparency and fostering
safer sport environments," CEO Benita Fitzgerald Mosley said in a news release
announcing the numbers.
