USA Gymnastics said Friday that it will comply with U.S. Olympic Committee order that calls for the board to resign after the Larry Nassar scandal.
In a statement, the organization said:
"USA Gymnastics supports the United States Olympic Committee’s letter and accepts the absolute need of the Olympic family to promote a safe environment for all of our athletes. We agree with the USOC’s statement that the interests of our athletes and clubs, and their sport, may be better served by moving forward with meaningful change within our organization, rather than decertification.
