USAG is guilty

I don’t see how you can conclude anything else after hearing about this cover-up.

… the Indianapolis Star reports that while USA Gymnastics was sorting out what to do with Nassar, it was simultaneous helping the doctor create a cover story for his absence.

After Nichols made her report, Nassar was removed from contact with the national team. …

Rather than go with the truth—namely, telling people that Nassar was under investigation for child sexual abuse—or simply saying nothing at all, USA Gymnastics agreed to help Nassar offer a respectable excuse for his absence at gymnastics events in 2015. …

questions for USAG’s Kerry Perry

The hearings yesterday were less than illuminating.

USA Gymnastics CEO provides no answers in congressional hearing to discuss sexual abuse

Instead, here are the Indy Star questions:

1. When did USA Gymnastics change its policy of dismissing sexual abuse allegations as hearsay unless they come from a victim or victim’s parent?

2. Why did you decide to conduct an internal investigation of the allegations against Larry Nassar instead of immediately reporting them to authorities?

3. How many USA Gymnastics officials — including employees, board members and volunteers — knew about the allegations against Nassar prior to the FBI report?

4. What did USA Gymnastics officials tell the FBI in July 2015?

5. What is USA Gymnastics doing to ensure that its subjective judging and team selection processes are not used to discourage athletes from reporting abuse?

6. Did USA Gymnastics destroy or alter medical records collected on athletes?

7. Is SafeSport really the answer?
