Former world champion latest to file abuse suit

HOUSTON - A former member of the US national team on Tuesday became the latest gymnast to file a lawsuit over sexual abuse by imprisoned former sports doctor Larry Nassar.

Sabrina Vega alleges USA Gymnastics, the US Olympic Committee and the husband-and-wife duo who coached America's top female gymnasts for three decades failed to protect her and other athletes.

Vega, who was on the team that won a gold medal at the 2011 World Championships, alleges the organizations, along with coaches Bela and Martha Karolyi, ignored signs about Nassar's behavior or should have known he posed a risk to the gymnasts he treated.
