US Olympic Committee calls on USA Gymnastics board resignations

Posted online

The U.S. Olympic Committee is demanding the entire board of USA Gymnastics resign.

The USOC move follows the sentencing of Larry Nassar, who was a national medical coordinator for USA Gymnastics from 1996 to 2014, though he stayed on to treat gymnasts through 2016. He was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison for the sexual assault of U.S. gymnasts under his care.

The USOC claims it will terminate USA Gymnastics' status as the sport's national governing body if its board members don't step down by Jan. 31.
