This isn’t about racial or sexual abuse is it? It’s about the kind of shouting & hectoring we’re used to seeing in tv series & movies about military training, & that I suspect gymnasts & athletes the world over go through. I doubt most people watching Biles will give it a thought

No, it's massive, systemic and terrible sexual abuse of female USA Gymnastics athletes by a team doctor that occurred over a span of years
-
Was it sexual abuse? If so I take it back, but I didn’t see it mentioned in the article. The only description of what actually happened I could find concerned one gymnast’s eating disorder
-
It's a fairly well known story here. I didn't read the article but if it wasn't mentioned it's likely because most everybody here has heard of it
-
I guess so. I had heard there’d been a scandal like this in the US & read the article for details. Because there are none I assumed the article was about a different case. My mistake I suppose but I’m blaming the New Yorker. Don’t know how it survives. Cartoons just aren’t enough
