USA Gymnastics Board to Comply with USOC, Resign Amid Larry Nassar Scandal

The entire USA Gymnastics board resigned Friday in the midst of the scandal involving former USAG physician Larry Nassar, according to NBC News.

Earlier Friday, NBC News' Julia Jester and Tracy Connor reported the United States Olympic Committee demanded the board's resignation within six days.

Had the board not resigned, the USOC threatened to decertify USA Gymnastics.

Additionally, the USOC called for USA Gymnastics staff to complete SafeSport training within three months and ethics training within six months.

On Wednesday, Nassar was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison after pleading guilty to 10 counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
