Olympic champion Gabby Douglas says team doctor abused her
cbsautsin ^ | Nov. 22, 2017 | AP

The 21-year-old Douglas is the latest high-profile gymnast to come forward against Nassar, who spent nearly two decades as the national team doctor for USA Gymnastics before being fired in 2015. Two-time Olympic teammate Aly Raisman wrote about alleged abuse by Nassar in her autobiography “Fierce,” released earlier this month. Two-time Olympic medalist McKayla Maroney disclosed abuse by Nassar in October. Jamie Dantzscher, a bronze medalist on the 2000 U.S. Olympic team, was part of the initial wave of lawsuits filed against Nassar in 2016 following reporting by the Indianapolis Star that highlighted chronic mishandling of abuse allegations against coaches and staff at some of USA Gymnastics’ more than 3,500 clubs across the country.

This gal has a negative attitude problem, and likes to stir things up for attention.
That does not take away from her Olympic gymnast skills, just makes it harder to work with her. I used to hear the same things about Kristi Yamaguchi who used to live nearby in Hayward, Ca.

I used to suck on my mom’s breast. I hope that doesn’t get me or her into trouble.

This stuff is getting stupid.

I always found it creepy how often 6 foot + male coaches could somehow manage to always get their hands on the butts 4 foot girl gymnasts in their post routine congratulation hugs. The sport is ripe for some serious scandals.

The team doctor has now admitted it.

Also, these allegations started being made a year or two ago, long before the current hysteria.

Finally, these were minor children.

I hope we’d all like to see this molestation of children exposed and destroyed.

I always wondered about Bela Karolyi, something always seemed a bit off about him.

The only stupid part is how many people get away with it for how long. Oh and the fools that excuse the behavior.

I’ve always wondered about figure skating, and gymnastics both. So MANY of the moves or positions require the performer to parade around with leg lifted high, exposing the genital area for seemingly long periods. I’ve always qustioned what sort of perverts originally wrote the rules and requirements.

Nope. The powers-that-be, who dictate this stuff, the dirty old men and women who groove on this stuff are the pervs.... along with the raptor coaches, doctors, et al.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Why would you not take her seriously ?
The team doc was a pervert and admitted it.
Just too bad one of the parents didn’t find out and re arranged the pervs face.

Sorry. That’s not eye candy to me. To me, it’s grotesque. Eye candy? Melania Trump, Shannon Bream, Harris Faulkner, the late Liz Taylor. Now you’re talking eye candy. Even the Miss America swimsuit competition is eye candy. But there IS a standard of decency and decorum. JMHO.
