USA Gymnastics cuts ties with training center where Nassar assaulted victims

USA Gymnastics is looking for a new training center after ending its partnership with the Karolyi Ranch, the training site where former national medical coordinator Larry Nassar sexually assaulted numerous female gymnasts.

"It has been my intent to terminate this agreement since I began as president and CEO (of USA Gymnastics) in December," Kerry Perry said Thursday in a statement. "Our most important priority is our athletes, and their training environment must reflect this. We are committed to a culture that empowers and supports our athletes."

Nassar pleaded guilty to 10 counts of criminal sexual conduct in November. He's been accused by more than 150 women of sexual assault, including decorated Olympians Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, and McKayla Maroney.

Biles said earlier in the week she had no desire to return to the facility in Huntsville, Texas, where she was abused.

USA Gymnastics will search for alternative sites to host training activities and camps on a temporary basis until finding a permanent home. The organization canceled its training camp scheduled next week for the U.S. Women's National Team, which was going to be held at the Karolyi Ranch.
