The rest of the USA Gymnastics board of directors will resign before a Jan. 31 deadline to avoid decertification.
“USA Gymnastics will comply with the USOC requirements,” USA Gymnastics said Friday, according to NBC News.
U.S. Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun wrote in a letter to USA Gymnastics that the board had to resign, or the national governing body would be terminated.
“We do not base these requirements on any knowledge that any individual USAG staff or board members had a role in fostering or obscuring Nassar’s actions,” Blackmun wrote in the letter outlining multiple required steps, not just the board resignations.
