During a recent Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations hearing, Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07) questioned leaders of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and USA Gymnastics about the Larry Nassar scandal and their ability to protect athletes from sexual abuse. The hearing was part of the Energy and Commerce Committee’s bipartisan investigation into the USOC and all 48 National Governing Bodies related to the management, handling, and prevention of sexual abuse across the U.S. Olympic community.
“Coming from Michigan this issue hits especially close to home—sadly. What happened at USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University under Larry Nassar is terrible, unacceptable, unexplainable,” said Congressman Walberg. “Thankfully, hundreds of brave young women came forward to tell their stories and help put the predator Nassar behind bars. As we continue to press for answers, we need to do everything we can to put in place preventative measures to protect athletes of all ages from abuse and ensure this does not happen again.”
