USA Gymnastics cuts ties with Karolyi Ranch training facility
4:21 PM CT
LANSING, Mich. -- USA Gymnastics announced Thursday that it will cut ties with the Karolyi Ranch, a longtime training ground for the country's elite gymnasts and also a site where former national medical coordinator Larry Nassar sexually assaulted gymnasts.
"It has been my intent to terminate this agreement since I began as president and CEO [of USA Gymnastics] in December," said Kerry Perry, who was present earlier this week to listen to women deliver impact statements during a sentencing hearing for Nassar. "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.
"We have canceled next week's training camp for the U.S. women's national team. We are exploring alternative sites to host training activities and camps until a permanent location is determined. We thank all those in the gymnastics community assisting in these efforts."
