Olympic gymnast complained of harassment by a doctor

Ali Reisman

Olympic gymnastics champion 2012 and 2016, Ali Reisman, said that she was molested by former team doctor Larry Nassar.

23-year-old Reisman told in an interview CBSthat Nassar pestered her when she was 15 years old. In 2016, after the summer games in Rio, she addressed the FBI investigators with a statement.

It is noted that more than 125 women accuse Nassar of sexual harassment. Now the man is in prison awaiting sentence.

“What are USA Gymnastics and Larry Nassar doing manipulating girls to be so afraid to tell the truth? I'm angry. And I'm really upset because when I see young gymnasts who come up to me and ask for autographs or to take photos together... Every time I look at them, I see their smiles, I think that I want such changes so that they “I never had to go through this again,” the 23-year-old athlete is quoted as saying on the website CBS News.

McKayla Maroney, who teamed with Raisman at the 2012 London Games, alleged last month that Nasser had sexually harassed her for years. “I dreamed of going to the Olympics, but what I had to endure to get there was disgusting,” she wrote in Twitter.

At the Gymnastics Association, the United States stated that "we are shocked by the behavior that Larry Nassar is accused of, and regret that the athletes were harmed."

Reisman's full interview will be released on Sunday at CBS.
