Former Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman has slammed USA Gymnastics for their poor treatment of Simone Biles, who many state is the greatest gymnast of all time, due to her vast accomplishments in the sport. Biles, suffering from a mental breakdown, withdrew from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Biles only returned to the Olympics this year as she was the only remaining gymnast from the Larry Nassar sexual abuse case, regarding the doctor who sexually assaulted and raped over 140 underage gymnasts.

The FBI engaged in criminal corruption, which caused the abuses to continue even longer and resulted in Nassar victimizing new young girls (The FBI Slammed On Social Networking For Covering For Pedophile Larry Nassar Allowing Him To Continue Sexually Abusing USA Gymnasts As Young As Age 8 And Molesting New Underage Victims and FBI Official Covered Up Sexual Abuse Of Underage Girls On The U.S. Olympic Team Because He Wanted To Become Head Of U.S. Gymnastics).

Raisman stated, "USA Gymnastics has been an absolute disaster for years and unfortunately not enough has changed for us to believe in a safer future, but I think this just really shows the lack of leadership [of] USA Gymnastics and the United States Olympic Committee.Their best athlete is struggling ... is there someone there to help her?" asked Raisman. "I don't know. I'm not there, so I don't know. But I think it's an important question that we should be asking..."

Biles has announced she will return tomorrow for an event, but is still struggling with a mental breakdown that is impacting her well-being. I wish Biles all the best. She has been through a lot in her life.
