US gymnasts slam FBI in senate testimony

US gymnasts Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman and Maggie Nichols excoriated USA Gymnastics, the US olympic committee (USOPC) and the FBI in powerful Senate testimony yesterday for failing to take immediate action over sexual abuse allegations against team doctor Larry Nassar.

“We have been failed and we deserve answers,” said the 24-year-old Biles, a seven-time Olympic medalist and the most decorated gymnast in world championships history. While condemning the inaction of the FBI, the gymnasts had harsh words for the leadership of USA Gymnastics and USOPC.
