Mandatory Reporting
USA Triathlon requires the reporting of sexual, emotional or physical misconduct by any member to either the U.S. Center for SafeSport or to USA Triathlon.
The U.S. Center for SafeSport has exclusive jurisdiction over allegations of sexual misconduct. If you have reasonable suspicion of sexual misconduct or harassment, child abuse (including child sexual abuse) or intimate relationships involving an imbalance of power, you must make a report to both the U.S. Center for SafeSport and law enforcement and comply with any other applicable reporting requirements under state law. To report a concern directly to the Center by phone, please call 833-5US-SAFE (587-7233). You can also submit an online report.
The Center also may exercise discretionary jurisdiction over and accepts reports of emotional and physical misconduct (including but not limited to bullying, hazing, stalking and harassment), and MAAPP violations. Reports of emotional and physical misconduct and MAAPP violations may also be reported directly to USA Triathlon. You can report a concern to USA Triathlon via online reporting form or email at trisafe@usatriathlon.org.
