LONDON - Gymnastics superstar Nadia Comaneci called for "drastic changes" at USA Gymnastics, which has been rocked by a scandal involving its longtime doctor who has been convicted of sexually abusing young athletes.
Olympic champions like Simone Biles and Aly Raisman have accused the gymnastics federation and the US Olympic Committee of failing for years to act on complaints and protect athletes.
USA Gymnastics' board resigned last week under pressure from the USOC, and investigations into both organizations are underway.
