With multiple alleged victims, new witnesses coming forward and coach Sean Garder’s history at three gyms in different states, the case became one of the most troubling of the 8-year-old SafeSport agency’s investigations.
The lawsuits allege Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics and the Denver-based U.S. Center for SafeSport were told about “inappropriate and abusive behaviors.”
The new leader succeeds Li Li Leung, who announced in June that she planned to step down at the end of the year.
The national sports governing body, which has been based in Indianapolis since 1983, could move to the new facility by the end of 2028.
The outgoing CEO of the Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics discussed transforming the organization, re-establishing trust after scandal and the search for her successor.
The decision, which Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics announced Thursday, comes with the organization in a far different place than it was when Leung took over in spring 2019.
Sources told IBJ that the Indiana cities are competing with a community in Texas.
Chiles, the American gymnast whose bronze medal at last month’s Olympics was stripped away over a technicality, filed an appeal in Switzerland’s Supreme Court on Monday in her ongoing effort to reclaim her third-place finish.
A gymnast who complained about the coaches criticized both SafeSport and Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics for what she described as an apathetic response to her and other gymnasts’ allegations—until they resulted in bad publicity.
USA Gymnastics said it would “continue to pursue every possible avenue and appeal process” after the Court of Arbitration for Sport said it would not reconsider its ruling that led to the revocation of Chiles’s Olympic bronze medal.
USA Gymnastics was a house afire five years ago, the massive fallout surrounding the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal rendering one of the U.S. Olympic movement’s marquee programs radioactive.
The settlement covers more than 100 people who accused the FBI of grossly mishandling allegations of sexual assault against the former team doctor at Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics.
An internal investigation found that FBI agents mishandled abuse allegations by women more than a year before Larry Nassar, a former doctor at Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics, was arrested in 2016.
It’s unclear whether the organization would move its national headquarters from Indianapolis to wherever the training center might be built.
The sponsorship deal, which Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics says is the largest ever both in terms of annual value and total value for the national governing body, runs through the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The center has about 1,000 open cases, a quarter of which are more than a year old, SafeSport spokesman Dan Hill said. With only about 60 full-time investigators, it gets around 150 new complaints each week.
Larry Nassar, a former doctor who was convicted of sexually abusing female gymnasts, was stabbed multiple times Sunday during an altercation with another inmate, sources told the Associated Press.
The commission was created more than two years ago after an investigation into how the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee and the sports organizations it oversees, including Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics, mishandled sex-abuse cases.
The FBI’s general counsel contacted the lawyers for Olympic gold medalists Simone Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney and dozens of other women on Wednesday to say the agency was “interested” in a resolution.
