are you going to replace the board that was in place while these heinous acts happened?are they going to be investigated? why do the ladies have to train at same facility they were abused in- 100 ladies so far abused- this CANNOT be swept under the rug. Bring board to justice now

you expect 'mandatory training' to rectify sexual assault of the country's top gymnasts for years? Nice try.

THIS should have been done decades ago. When I coached gymnastics I insisted on transparency and abuse awareness...decades ago. Why did it take so long?
