USA CRITS Managing Director Scott Morris has been temporarily suspended for allegations of misconduct according to the US Center for SafeSport.

The date of issue was posted on September 14, 2021, but had been under the radar for most of the past month. At this point, SafeSport has not made public the nature of the allegations facing Morris, simply listing 'Allegations of Misconduct' next to his name.

Cyclingnews has confirmed that Morris was a contractor with Swagger LLC, which produces USA CRITS, and has been dismissed by the company. The exact details of the case have not been verified but Cyclingnews has reached out to USA Cycling for comment.
