"We support their decisions to resign at this time," said Kerry Perry, president and chief executive of USA Gymnastics, the national governing body for the sport. Steve Penny quit as president last March after critics said USA Gymnastics failed to protect gymnasts from abusive coaches and Nassar. In Michigan, Nassar’s sentencing hearing continued on Monday, raising the number of girls and women who have spoken to nearly 100 since last week. Nassar, 54, has admitted molesting athletes during medical treatment when he was employed by Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics. She and other victims also continued their criticism of Michigan State, USA Gymnastics and the US Olympic Committee for not doing enough to stop Nassar when initial complaints were made.
