Amanda Thomashow reported Nassar to MSU in 2014
Amanda Thomashow was the first woman to file an official Title IX complaint (2014) against Nassar accusing him of violating the school’s sexual harassment policy. …
In an investigative report prepared in response to her complaint, the school’s Title IX coordinator called Nassar’s methods a “liability” that exposed patients to unnecessary trauma. But that’s not what the school told Thomashow.
We cannot find that the conduct was of a sexual nature. Thus, it did not violate the sexual harassment policy.”
MSU ultimately sided with Nassar, concluding that his methods were medically appropriate. And, according to documents obtained by CNN, MSU gave Nassar and Thomashow different versions of that investigative report. Her version did not include the Title IX coordinator’s concerns. …
She filed a complaint against Larry Nassar in 2014. Nothing happened
MSU maintains that “no official there believed Nassar committed sexual abuse until newspapers began reporting on the allegations in the summer of 2016”.
MSU bungled Amanda’s complaint, investigation and report(s) in several ways. Ways that look like a cover-up to me.

NCAA Men’s week 3 highlights
Logan Bradley is back this season with his superb SPARK online reports. He covers all the men’s competitions quickly and succinctly.
2018 is about to be one of the most exciting #NCAAMGym seasons ever. A team ranked seventh in the latest power rankings cruised to the nation’s best score this weekend. The unpredictability from week-to-week is the greatest we’ve seen — probably since 2012. …

Miss Val – in defence of Gymnastics
Miss Val is angry.
Millions of people around the world are angry.
I can’t stop thinking about the 158 victims who came forward to give their impact statements in the sentencing of Larry Nassar. …
I have been asked many times,
“Why would parents put their kids in gymnastics now?”
The answer is crystal clear. Gymnastics is not the culprit. Gymnastics is a master class on life skills.
Gymnastics teaches discipline, focus, and attention to detail. Gymnastics hones courage to face fear head on. Gymnastics teaches the importance of thorough preparation. Gymnastics teaches perseverance, as there’s no one to pass the ball to when things get tough. Gymnastics demands that one learns how to finish. Gymnastics teaches one to dare to dream as none of the skills learned in gymnastics are innate in us. Gymnastics is the perfect combination of athletics and performance. …

gymternet fooled by Nassar as well
Nobody has pursued ethics, safety and human rights of gymnasts more doggedly than Jessica O’Beirne, founder of GymCastic.
Many of us wait for each week’s episode to get caught up on everything that’s happened on the Nassar crimes.
Yet Jess was fooled too.
… (GymCastic) interviewed Dr. Nassar in 2013 and has left the episode up in the podcast’s archive, albeit with an altered title, “Serial Pedophile Ex-Doctor Larry Nassar Interview.” …
She agrees with Mr. Barnes and Ms. Hopkins that she, too, was “groomed” by Dr. Nassar after he became a trusted source. “In the industry you get close to sources, and I think there was a delay in reporting because there was a delay in people thinking this could be true.” …
I can’t recall hearing a negative word about Nassar online dating back to before 2000. Until women began coming forward.
