Aly Raisman: Olympic Gymnast Reveals She Was Sexually Assaulted By Team Doctor
Olympic medalist Aly Raisman has become the latest member of the Us Women’s Gymnastics team to accuse Dr. Larry Nassar of sexual abuse.
The disgraced Nassar served as the team’s primary physician for several years.
He first treated Raisman when she was just 15 years old.
Raisman’s former teammate, McKayla Maroney, accused Nassar of sexual assault last month,
In an interview with 60 Minutes that’s set to air on Sunday night, Raisman describes her abuse and the ways in which she feels the US Gymnastics program failed Nassar’s victims:
“Why are we looking at why didn’t the girls speak up?” Raisman said in a clip released by CBS today.
“Why not look at what about the culture? What did USA Gymnastics do, and Larry Nassar do, to manipulate these girls so much that they are so afraid to speak up?”
Asked if she’s angry about the way she and her teammates have been treated, Raisman replied:
“I am angry. I’m really upset because it’s been — I care a lot, you know, when I see these young girls that come up to me, and they ask for pictures or autographs, whatever it is, I just — I can’t — every time I look at them, every time I see them smiling, I just think — I just want to create change so that they never, ever have to go through this.”
Now 23, Raisman achieved fame as a member of the “Fierce Five” team of American gymnasts that wowed audiences with their dominant performance at the 2012 Olympics.
Raisman competed again in the 2016 games, bringing her career medal count to six.
On October 18, Maroney first revealed the abuse she had suffered at Nassar’s hands in response to the trending “#MeToo” hashtag.
“It seemed whenever and wherever this man could find the chance, I was ‘treated.’ It happened in London before my team and I won the gold medal, and it happened before I won my silver,” Maroney said at the time.
She went on to describe one encounter with Nassar as “the scariest night of my life.”
Dozens of women have accused Nassar of sexual misconduct, and he is currently awaiting trial on 33 criminal charges, ranging from rape to possession of child pornography.
In a statement issued today, the US Gymnastics program praised Raisman for coming forward with her own account of Nassar’s abuse:
“In the last year, Aly has become an advocate for many issues, and sharing her personal experience of abuse takes great courage,” the statement reads.
“We are appalled by the conduct of which Larry Nassar is accused, and we are very sorry that any athlete has been harmed during her or his gymnastics career.”
The organization concluded:
“Aly’s passion and concern for athlete safety is shared by USA Gymnastics.”
We’ll have further updates on this story as more information becomes available.

Aly Raisman: Hottest Pics of the Sexy Gymnast!
Over the course of the 2016 Olympics, there have been countless articles about how sexist it is to talk about the attractiveness of female athletes.

After all, aren"t the Olympics all about appreciating flawless specimens of human physicality?

It"s only at THG that you"ll get an in-depth discussion of the curvature of her patriotically-bedazzled posterior.

French Gymnast Breaks Leg During Vault [GRAPHIC VIDEO]
WARNING: The following video may be upsetting for some viewers.
The Rio Olympics for French gymnast Samir Ait Said ended in brutal fashion as he suffered a broken leg during a vault landing Saturday.
His injury during qualifications was so bad, it caused fans and teammates alike to wince, look away and bury their heads in their hands.
French gymnastics officials tweeted later that the athlete had fractured his tibia and fibula and would have surgery as soon as possible.
Said landed awkwardly after doing two backward flips off the vault.
According to USA Today, it was obvious what went wrong, as the leg made a sharp crack that could be heard throughout the venue.
As Said grabbed around his knee and looked up at his left leg, he saw it flop unnaturally to the side, as he covered his face with his hands.
He was silent, perhaps in too much shock to react otherwise.
The athlete was taken off on a stretcher, giving a wave to the stunned crowd as he was carried away to receive medial treatment.
Said thanked fans for their support following the event and vowed that he would be back to win gold at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
French team leader Corrine Moustard-Callon told reporters:
"It is very difficult for the team. He was one of the friendliest on the team which is very difficult … he came to win a medal and gave everything 200 percent."
Incredibly, this is not Said"s first major injury after a vault.
He missed the 2012 Olympics because he fractured his right leg in three places at the European Championships, according to reports.
We wish him nothing but the best in his recovery.
Here"s the footage of his injury:
