ALLENTOWN, Pa. - The organization tasked with policing abuse in Olympic sports has barred a Pennsylvania gymnastics coach from being around minors unsupervised while it investigates a misconduct claim. Holman has coached for about 40 years at Parkettes Gymnastics Club, which has trained thousands of gymnasts including several Olympians. The bylaw cited as grounds for the restriction refers exclusively to sexual misconduct, but USA Gymnastics said it could also refer to non-sexual misconduct allegations. King, a representative for USA Gymnastics, said website updates had been in the works for some time. The club has not been embroiled in the investigation of sexual abuse by former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar.
