USOC: USA Gymnastics will be decertified if board doesn’t resign
All current members of the USA Gymnastics board of directors must resign by the end of the month or the organization faces decertification, the U.S. Olympic Committee CEO wrote in a letter to the national governing body.
“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,” USOC CEO Scott Blackmun wrote in the letter outlining multiple steps the organization must take to avoid termination. “Our position comes from a clear sense that USAG culture needs fundamental rebuilding.”
