“I am appalled that no one in authority appears to understand the lessons of the horrific failures that enabled Larry Nassar’s abuse of young gymnasts for almost 30 years,” wrote Blumenthal, D-Conn., the ranking member of the Senate subcommittee investigating the Olympic sexual abuse scandal.
On March 4, SafeSport announced that in the course of its work on sexual misconduct allegations against the late national pairs champion John Coughlin — who took his own life Jan. 18, one day after he received an interim suspension from SafeSport — it discovered “a culture in figure skating that allowed grooming and abuse to go unchecked for too long.” |
