Former Olympic gymnasts, including Simone Biles, are among dozens of assault victims who blame the FBI for failing to stop sports doctor Larry Nassar.
Simone Biles spoke with anger, breaking into tears, as she discussed USA Gymnastics’ role in the sexual assault scandal involving team doctor Larry Nassar.Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics told local FBI agents in 2015 that three gymnasts said they were assaulted by Nassar, a team doctor. But theor inform federal or state authorities in Michigan, according to the Justice Department’s inspector general, an internal watchdog.
Nassar wasn’t arrested until fall 2016 during an investigation by Michigan State University police. He was a doctor at Michigan State.I first met Larry Nassar in the late ’90s, when I was a student athletic training intern at the University of Washington. “I’m especially sorry that there were people at the FBI who had their own chance to stop this monster back in 2015 and failed. And that’s inexcusable,” Wray told victims at a Senate hearing.
