(Indianapolis, IN) — The entire USA Gymnastics board is being forced to resign. The US Olympic Committee is calling on all 21 members to step down following the life sentence of former national team doctor Larry Nassar. Nassar was convicted of sexually abusing more than 150 girls and young women. Three top USAG members resigned earlier this week which means 18 more will have to follow suit by Wednesday’s deadline. Olympic officials say USAG will lose its status as a sports governing body unless the entire board is eliminated. A new interim board would also have to be put in place by February 28th.
