— “If you think conduct like this is past tense for these organizations, think again. Throughout 2020 and 2021, the USOPC and USAG have perpetuated their coverup with civil court motions. They have hidden from accountability with bankruptcy proceedings.
…”They have demanded that in exchange for any civil settlement, Biles and others who suffered Nassar’s assaults issue blanket liability releases that would protect a rogue’s gallery of well-known abusers, as well as Penny.” 😱
… “And they have fought to keep the depositions of [Steve] Penny, [Scott] Blackmun and former chairman Larry Probst under seal.
Under seal.”
— “Does that sound like these organizations have turned over a new leaf and become more “athlete-centered?” They had the nerve to feign support for Biles this week. They are not her supporters. They are her tormentors.” - #SallyJenkins

I support @Simone_Biles 100%-protecting her emotional health & physical safety in a very dangerous sport. I'm in awe of her voice for Nassar survivors n the call for @USAGym transparency n reform - and grateful. And competing during #Covid19...1/ #Twisties nytimes.com/2021/07/28/spo…
All the athletes are suffering from a year of lock-down #COVID19: "... the lack of regular competition for many athletes was the equivalent of a muscle atrophying, said Nancy Hogshead-Makar, a lawyer who won three gold medals and a silver in swimming at the 1984 LA Olympics." 2/
“It’s not that they’re choking; it’s not that they’re out of shape,” Hogshead-Makar said. “Almost no athlete goes for a year with no competition. There is no replacement, when all eyes are on you and you need to be able to perform when the time is right.” 3/
