USA Gymnastics Closes Karolyi Ranch Training Facility Amid Larry Nassar Scandal

USA Gymnastics has ended its relationship with the Karolyi Ranch where former trainer Larry Nassar allegedly sexually abused many former gymnasts.

Kerry Perry, USA Gymnastics CEO and president, issued a statement on Thursday announcing the decision, via Nick Zaccardi of NBC Sports:

"USA Gymnastics has terminated its agreement with the Karolyi Ranch in Huntsville, Texas. It will no longer serve as the USA Gymnastics National Team Training Center.

"It has been my intent to terminate this agreement since I began as president and CEO in December. Our most important priority is our athletes, and their training environment must reflect this.
