A former top medical officer for the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) filed a whistleblower retaliation lawsuit against the organization on Wednesday, alleging he was fired for questioning how executives handled reports of abuse and mental health concerns.
Dr. William (Bill) Moreau was with the organization for 10 years and was fired in May 2019 following five years as the vice president of sports medicine. He voiced concern about former USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University Dr. Larry Nassar treating athletes at the 2012 London Olympics.
