The U.S. Center for SafeSport has terminated one of its investigators after discovering his recent arrest for stealing drug money. The investigator, who previously served as a police officer, was involved in a drug bust during which he allegedly took money that had been confiscated. The decision to fire him was made last month, following the revelation of his arrest. This incident raises concerns about the integrity of the organization, which is tasked with overseeing sexual abuse cases in sports.
