"I too am one of the many survivors that was sexually abused by Larry Nassar," Biles said in a statement posted to Twitter. Nassar, a former team doctor for both USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University, where he was a faculty member, has been accused of sexual abuse by more than 130 women. In a statement provided to a new agency, USA Gymnastics said the organisation was "heartbroken, sorry and angry" that Biles and other athletes had been harmed by Nassar. No, I will not and should not carry the guilt that belongs to Larry Nassar, USA G and others." In March 2017, Steve Penny resigned as president of USA Gymnastics.
