https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/dec/15/usa-gymnastics-sexual-abuse-report At least 368 gymnasts in the United States have alleged some form of sexual abuse over the past 20 years, a joint investigation by the Indianapolis Star and USA Today has revealed. The nine-month investigation into police files and court documents found hundreds of cases of alleged sexual abuse by a total of 115 coaches and other adults they worked with, and systematic failures which enabled accused coaches to relocate to other gyms. Nearly all of the victims were girls. |

you know, Bob, I know it's a bit of an effort but you could read the link occasionally... it is alleged that one of the team doctors was putting his fingers in places where they needn't have been. Let me know if you need me to draw you a picture. |
