Curtis McDowald, who got the United States fencing team disqualified from the Pan-American Senior Championships, has been suspended for allegations of misconduct.
An American fencer has been temporarily suspended for allegations of misconduct, the U.S. Center for SafeSport says. Curtis McDowald was suspended beginning Friday, along with track athlete Sean Stevenson. 'Once we became aware of the allegations, we immediately informed the U.S. Center for SafeSport, who exercised their ability to take jurisdictional control of the case and upheld our temporary measures’,' USA Fencing said in a statement, via USA Today.
Because of his actions, the team was eliminated from the competition, which resulted in them forfeiting the bronze-medal match. Furthermore, since they were disqualified, they earned zero Olympic qualifying points at the event, hurting their chances of participating in Paris next summer. The United States entered the tournament as the top-ranked team in the event. The tirade resulted in McDowald being ineligible to compete at the 2023 Fencing World Championships in July.
McDowald recently participated in the Pan American Games in Chile with the United States, but he had to stay in a separate hotel because of an unrelated prior incident.
