Olympian abused by team doctor sees USA Gymnastics as 'rotten'
Tehran (KNA) - Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman blasted U.S. gymnastics officials on Friday for failing to protect her and other women from years of sexual abuse by former team doctor Larry Nassar, calling the sport’s governing body “rotten from the inside.”
Raisman, co-captain of the U.S. women's gymnastics squad at the 2012 London and 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Games, called for an independent investigation into U.S. gymnastics and Olympic officials who she said had the power to stop Nassar.
Nassar pleaded guilty to 10 counts of first-degree sexual assault in November.
