- Olympic champion angry at lack of protection for gymnasts
- Biles revealed she was abused by disgraced gymnastics doctor
Simone Biles was in tears as she spoke about the anger and disappointment she feels about the handling of the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal. It is just over 18 months since the Olympic gymnastics champion revealed she was among the hundreds of athletes abused by Nassar, the USA Gymnastics’ disgraced sports doctor, who abused dozens of athletes in his care.
While Nassar is now behind bars for the rest of his life and USA Gymnastics has undergone a massive overhaul in leadership, the mental scars remain fresh for Biles. She became emotional as she was asked about the scandal on Wednesday.
