USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) on Monday reached a reported $380 million settlement to lawsuits filed by survivors of former Olympic team doctor Larry Nassar.
According to the Wall Street Journal, ESPN, The New York Times and other news outlets, USA Gymnastics and the USOPC also agreed to designate a select number of board seats for survivors and implement other new policies aimed at protecting athletes from future abuse.
“This settlement is about the brave survivors who came forward, forced these organizations to listen, and demanded change,” said Michelle Simpson Tuegel, who represents more than two dozen Nassar survivors, and Tasha Schwikert Moser, cochair of the Survivors Creditors Committee, in a joint statement.
