US Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and her fellow athletes have accused the FBI and USA Gymnastics of turning a blind eye to sexual abuse they suffered at the hands of former team doctor, Larry Nassar.
Four athletes gave emotional testimony to a US Senate Judiciary Committee.
The Committee is looking into the agency’s mishandling of the case which involves hundreds of gymnasts, the largest sexual abuse incident in US sports history.
McKayla Maroney said the FBI had not only not reported her abuse but falsified details when she told them about it.
