THE remaining members of the USA Gymnastics board of directors have said they will resign following a threat from the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) to decertify the organisation.

The USOC’s ultimatum followed the sentencing of child-molesting gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar, who assaulted at least 150 girls and young women over 25 years.

Nassar had worked as a USA Gymnastics trainer and doctor since 1986. More than 150 women made victim-impact statements during his week-long sentencing hearing.
