Even if not, the international sanctioning body for gymnastics is going to have a problem.
USA Gymnastics is about to cease to exist.
They filed for Chapter 11 (reorganization), with the lawsuit money being the problem, last week -- and that puts a damper on the ladies trying to get money because of Dr. Larry Nassar and the brass at USA Gymnastics who covered him up.
The question is going to have to be settled in the next 18 months, especially as it probably appears USA Gymnastics will eventually disappear entirely: Is this going to mean the IOC or individual sport bodies are going to have to toss the United States, Russia-style?
Let's hope so. Because, and let's face it: How many "Mary Lou"'s got denied their chance, in any of these sports, because they refused the sexual advances of the relevant coaches, etc.?
