USOC Report Details Organization's Failures During Larry Nassar Abuse Case

A 233-page report released Monday detailed how the United States Olympic Committee failed to take proper action after learning about Larry Nassar and his history of sexual abuse, according to Christine Brennan of USA Today.

Former USOC CEO Scott Blackmun and former USOC chief of sport performance Alan Ashley reportedly learned about the scandal in July 2015 from USA Gymnastics CEO Steve Penny. However, neither man "engaged with USAG on the reported concerns, shared the information with others at the USOC or took any other action in response to the information from Mr. Penny to ensure that responsible steps were being taken by USAG and the USOC to protect athletes," the report states.
