The newly appointed US Gymnastic Chief Mary Bono has quit her job after days of her appointment n Tuesday. The reason for this quitting was the criticism she received from the Olympic Stars like Simone Biles and Aly Raisman.
Mary Bono said that she is reigning under the reason of receiving ‘Personal attacks’ which have made her position in the organization untenable.
The former Interim CEO of the USA Gymnastic Mary Bono said in a statement, “it is with deep regret along with my deep love for the sport of gymnastics and respect to the great gymnasts that I present my resignation from my post of Interim CEO of US Gymnastics”.
She further said, “This withdrawal of mine is under the personal attacks that have left me defendable and would hinder my ability to lead the USAG.”
Raisman and Biles are amongst those 200 female gymnasts who have made their statements in the last two years relating the sexual abuse they suffered from the former USAG team doctor Larry Nassar under his guise of treating them.
Nassar who pled guilty has been given a life sentence of 175 years in prison for his criminal sexual conduct charges.
