The fencer who disqualified the US épée team from competing in the 2024 Olympics was sanction in August 2025 due to "multiple violations of USA Fencing's code of conduct and athletic code of conduct." He will be eligible to apply for reinstatement in August 2030.

They're not going to say.
But consider that his repeated unsportsmanlike conduct finally got him a black card, and left the US épée team unqualified for the 2024 Olympics, AND he was made to stay in a separste building from his teammates because they (especially the women) didn't feel safe around him.
I think it's a fair guess that he assaulted somene, in one way or another.

Meaning, he's accused of what, exactly?
