NORTH VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — American bobsledder Bill Schuffenhauer will attend counseling after charges were dropped of assault and uttering threats to his fiancee during the Vancouver Olympics.
Schuffenhauer was detained and released by police Feb. 25 in Whistler, British Columbia, after an alleged argument. The prosecution dropped the charges Tuesday after he agreed to “extensive counseling.”
The 37-year-old Schuffenhauer from Ogden, Utah, was a pushman for USA-3 at the Vancouver Games. He won a silver medal in four-man bobsled at the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics.
He did not appear in court.
