The Courage of Survivors: A Call to Action.
The Courage of Survivors: A Call to Action.Over the past year-and-a-half, the Subcommittee engaged with athletes and sexual abuse survivors in a wide range of sports, met repeatedly with the USOC and NGBs, and reviewed and analyzed tens of thousands of pages of documentary evidence. Subcommittee staff also completed training by the Center for SafeSport to better understand the educational resources provided to sports communities. With the full support of the current and former U.S. Senate Commerce Committee Chairman and Ranking Member Commerce Committee, the Subcommittee requested and received key evidence and compelled the attendance and cooperation of important witnesses.
The Subcommittee strived to understand the alarming and dysfunctional systems that allowed a monster like Larry Nassar to thrive—and continued to put athletes at risk. This included uncovering how and why officials at USOC, USAG, MSU, and even the FBI, sat on evidence of his sexual misconduct for over a year—allowing for the additional sexual abuse of dozens of other girls.
This report is the culmination of the Subcommittee’s investigation and contains findings and recommendations. In addition to this report, Senators Moran and Blumenthal are introducing the Empowering Olympic and Amateur Athletes Act of 2019 to implement these recommendations and protect amateur athletes.
