Simone Biles on USA Gymnastics' failure to protect athletes in abuse scandal: “They couldn’t do one damn job. You had one job. You literally had one job and you couldn’t protect us.'
at the time, the Olympic champion wrote,"I, too, am one of the many survivors that was sexually abused by Larry Nassar."
Biles, who won four gold medals at the 2016 Olympics, said the memory of the abuse makes it hard still for her to train, and a lot of days she has to leave the gym. Biles said she is trying her best to heal, including going to therapy, and continuing to compete, but doctor's appointments are still difficult. “Every time I go to the doctor or training, I get worked on, and I don’t want to get worked on, but my body hurts. I'm 22.”
