three years is way past a normal time. many hardcore criminals are out on good behavior before three years. so, in my humble opine, it's time to let him get back to the good work he was doing especially for something non criminal.

The punishment definitely was an inappropriate response to address the violation. USA Boxing mishandled this situation at all levels. Immediate reinstatement and a formal apology is deemed necessary to rectify this wrong.

I dont know the entire situation but i do knkow the man tries his best to help inner city kids develop into better individuals the way it was explained to me was. He was a target of inside power pushing their weight. Taking away his rights as a coach.

I know that Ron is one of the few men that actually put in time to work with our inner city kids in St Louis he gives them focus and I admire him for actually giving back to his community. Please reinstate him our St Louis city youth need his guidance and support Thank you Jan Strini

I’ve worked with Coach Ron Harris for years with USA Boxing without any problem and support his reinstatement to volunteer going forward. I’m not involved with his suspension, and question if his penalty is a life long suspension? If so, members have a right to know details.
