A 67-year-old San Antonio boxing coach, Jose Angel Garcia, has been permanently banned from amateur sports after being indicted on 16 felony charges of child sexual abuse. The U.S. Center for SafeSport stripped him of eligibility following allegations that span years and involve at least one former athlete — a woman who says his abuse “ruined her life.” Garcia, who once saw himself as a mentor and role model, maintains his innocence and awaits trial. His career included decades coaching youth boxers and 28 years with the federal government. This lifetime ban underscores the center’s zero-tolerance stance to shield young athletes from predators.
