Senators Shaheen and Ernst on Megyn Kelly

Senators Shaheen and Joni Ernst (R-IA) called on USOC’s prior CEO, Scott Blackmun, to resign following reports that he was aware of sexual abuse allegations against ex-team USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar in 2015. The Senators have led bipartisan efforts in Congress in calling for accountability regarding how Nassar was allowed to sexually abuse female gymnasts over decades. In June, during testimony before the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, Insurance and Data Security, Senator Shaheen called on Congress to review USOC’s federal charter to provide more oversight and fair compensation to American athletes.
