No. It was not @USAGym that raised a stink about anything. It was USAG that sicced private investigators to try to dig up dirt on Jamie Danztscher when she came forward anonymously about Larry, knowing full well she was telling the truth. They even contacted old boyfriends.

It was USAG that never told the FBI about Simone's abuse, and never told Simone about the investigation.
It was USAG that stuffed files on sexually abusive coaches into a file cabinet instead of taking the elevator a few floors down to the CPS office IN THEIR BUILDING.

It was USAG that commissioned the Debra Daniel's report but specifically refused to allow her to investigate any actual abuse cases or cover-up, and then failed to implement even half the changes.
It was USAG who, in 2018 I a bankruptcy hearing told me that they'd never even looked at the 50 files IndyStar found, to see if those coaches were still coaching or to report them to law enforcement. They hadn't. Even. Looked.
It was USAG who transferred massive amounts of money suddenly into a foundation they said was totally separate and not attachable to help pay the claims of the athletes they harmed. They "forget to mention" its the same CFO for both groups who controls all the funds.
It's been USAG for the past five years refusing independent investigations, refusing to acknowledge or apologize to long time whistle blowers like Moceanu and Sey, refusing to take care of the athletes they've harmed, refusing to call out their own abusive coaches, leaders...
It was USAG who sent Mary Lou Retton to lobby against changes to reporting laws - literally the survivors' legislative package.
It was not USAG who spoke up. Or blew the whistle. Or started reform.

It was done despite USAG. In no way, shape, or form, have they helped. Most of you have been actively destructive and constantly attacked survivors and advocates.
This remains the culture of abuse.
