Schuck and the board of Eastside Boxing deny the allegations. The recent events have been precipitated by the malicious actions of a select few who in the wake of failed attempts to further their own interests are attempting to destroy a gym with a longstanding history of excellence, perseverance, diversity and generosity, they responded in a 31-page written statement emailed to CBC News .
The document includes nearly 50 statements of support for Schuck and the club from male and female members, coaches and staff.
Schuck and the club s board have labelled Jaime Ward-Yassin, a former manager, coach and board member, as the ringleader behind the accusations. Ward-Yassin, a former pro boxer, was the head of the women s programs at Eastside Boxing. She is also Schuck s ex-wife.
