SafeSport issues permanant ban on high-profile gymnastics coach in latest chapter of 9-year-old case
DENVER (AP) — The gymnastics coach for a one-time Olympic alternate received a lifetime ban Thursday from the U.S. Center for SafeSport. Qi Han, whose case dates to at least 2016 and who had been under a temporary sanction for the past two years, was listed as permanently ineligible, subject to appeal, on the center's disciplinary database. It said he was found to have committed emotional misconduct, physical misconduct and violated USA Gymnastics policies and bylaws. Han, a former gymnast on the Chinese national team, and his wife, Yiwen Chen, opened Everest Gymnastics in the suburbs of Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2004. The gym quickly gained prominence within USA Gymnastics. In 2016, Han served as the coach to Olympic alternate Ashton Locklear. Locklear told The New York Times in 2018 that Han physically and emotionally abused her and at one point threw a cell phone at her. Han denied the allegations. Several other athletes who trained at Everest came forward over ensuing years, describing similar experiences with Han. As of Thursday night, Han was still listed as the co-owner and head coach at Everest. Emails sent by The Associated Press to multiple addresses at the gymnastics club were not immediately returned. Details from Han's accusers started coming out the year before the SafeSport Center opened in the wake of extensive abuse committed by former gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar. The Times reported that USA Gymnastics handed Han's case over to the center shortly after it opened in 2017. In explaining the lengthy amount of time it took to resolve the case, the center said in a statement that it involved more than 80 witnesses, thousands of pages of evidence and transcripts and allegations that span decades. The center said it stood by the fairness and thoroughness of the process but also 'remains committed to increasing efficiencies in our process to help resolve cases more quickly.' The center's interim CEO, April Holmes, portrayed the latest development as a sign the center is making sports safer. 'We know it is not easy to come forward, so we thank those who shared their stories and helped bring resolution to this case,' Holmes said. 'This outcome sends a clear message that sport culture is changing and accountability is moving the needle.' ___ AP National Writer Will Graves contributed to this report. ___ AP sports:

Trump and Carney in Talks on Trade Ahead of G-7 Summit
(Bloomberg) -- US President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney have been in direct contact trying to reach a trade deal, but the two sides still have work to do to find agreement, according to people familiar with the discussions.

The US has punishing import taxes in place on Canadian-made steel, aluminum and autos, and Canada has imposed retaliatory tariffs on a range of American-made goods. Carney said Wednesday talks have been 'progressing,' but there's no deal about to be signed and no guarantee one will be ready soon, according to officials familiar with the state of the negotiations, which have been taking place for weeks. The people asked not to be named in order to discuss the sensitive issue. Canadian Industry Minister Melanie Joly confirmed to reporters on Thursday that Carney and Trump have kept in direct contact. 'It's normal that at the same time as this trade war is taking place, there are also diplomatic discussions, so Prime Minister Carney and President Trump are talking to each other,' she said. 'President Trump remains directly involved with the Administration's ongoing trade negotiations as America's dealmaker in chief,' White House spokesman Kush Desai said. 'Talks with Canada continue about trade, border security, and defense matters. Any deal announcements, however, will come from President Trump himself.' Dominic LeBlanc, the Canadian cabinet minister responsible for the US trade talks, has traveled to Washington twice recently to meet with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, including on Tuesday. Carney has so far not retaliated against Trump's move this week to double tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum, bringing them to 50% from 25%. 'We are in intensive negotiations with the Americans, and in parallel preparing reprisals if those negotiations do not succeed,' Carney told the Canadian Parliament on Wednesday. The US imported $477 billion of goods and services from Canada last year and exported $441 billion, giving it a trade deficit of $36 billion.
