ymnast McKayla Maroney has unleashed on Team USA and USA Gymnastics over the abuse she suffered at the hands of pedophile doctor Larry Nassar, recalling how at age 15, she was left 'alone, naked' while he 'lay on top of her' as she sobbed for 50 minutes.
The 2012 Olympic gold and silver medalist lifted the lid on the horrors she endured while competing for the national team, claiming that she was 'banned' from seeing or speaking to her parents while traveling with her Team USA coaches, whose 'care' she was left in while she was being sexually abused by Nassar.
Speaking out in the wake of this year's vault final, the gymnast, now 25, also recalled how she was forced to compete in the London Games in 2012 with a broken foot, a concussion, and a busted nose after Nassar lied to coaches about the extent of her injuries.

she sobbed for 50 minutes.
Big time “amateur” sports seem to be filled with parasites.
And her parents were where?
The gymnasts this round like Sunisa Lee and Jade Carey seem to have come of age in a far healthier and safer environment. Jade’s coach is her own dad in fact.
Sounds like more than Larry Nassar belong in prison.
and the FBI knew but did nothing about it.
Exactly.
I’m pretty sure he meant Larry and other coaches.
She’s messed up now, posting slutty pics online.
I’m sure it’s related to her abuse...very sad.
Beyond the terrible Nasser stuff she endured, I can still somewhat appreciate where she’s coming from. She’s exasperated, now realizing, “wait, you can just say you don’t feel well enough?”
Two haircuts for that dress...
Exactly, I’ll never understand why guys like this are allowed to continue what they’re doing when people know about it. What was so special about his evil dweeb. How hard is it to fire someone?
Team USA should probably spend less time appeasing the Woke Left and more time cracking down on the pedophiles in their midst. Sounds like women’s gymnastics has been a horror show for years.
wish they would abolish the sport all together...tired of hearing about this garbage.
I’ve seen that behavior from all sorts of previously “good girls,” as they attempt to “own” their sexuality to make up for having lost it under rape situations.
It’s sad.
Thank you McKayla!
I used to enjoy watching it, but I have had no interest in it for the past few Olympics, for this very reason.
