Larry Nassar appears in court to listen to victim impact statements during his sentencing hearing after being accused of molesting more than 100 girls while he was a physician for USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University where he had his sports-medicine practice on January 17, 2018 in Lansing, Michigan. Scott Olson—Getty Images  by [Alice Park](https://time.com/author/alice-park/)  ## Alice Park Senior Correspondent Jan 26, 2018 3:16 PM UTC The U.S. Olympic Committee, which oversees the various national sports governing bodies, threatened to terminate USA Gymnastics’ status if the entire board does not resign in six days. USOC CEO Scott Blackmun had already called for the remaining 18 members of the USA Gymnastics board to resign, but in the email laid out detailed conditions the USOC has for allowing USA Gymnastics to remain the sport’s national governing body. “Our position comes from a clear sense that USAG culture needs fundamental rebuilding,” Blackmun said. On January 22, the [three leaders of the USA Gymnastics board resigned](http://time.com/5019034/usa-gymnastics-aly-raisman-larry-nassar/), after dozens of women testified about sexual abuse they experienced by the national team doctor Larry Nassar. Olympians [Aly Raisman](http://time.com/5110455/aly-raisman-larry-nassar-testimony-trial/) and [Jordyn Wieber](http://time.com/5110013/jordyn-wieber-larry-nassar-sexual-abuse/) appeared in the Michigan court as well to detail sexual abuse they suffered at national training camps and international competitions. Their teammates [Simone Biles](http://time.com/5103550/olympic-champion-simone-biles-was-sexually-abused-by-team-doctor/), [Gabby Douglas](http://time.com/5034498/gabby-douglas-aly-raisman-larry-nassar-abuse/), [McKayla Maroney](http://time.com/4987066/mckayla-maroney-metoo-molested/) and national team member [Maggie Nichols](http://time.com/5094292/maggie-nichols-larry-nassar-gymnastics-doctor/) have also revealed they were abused by Nassar. The USOC ultimatum came a day after Nassar was [sentenced to up to 175 years in prison](http://time.com/5116872/judge-larry-nassar-sentencing/) in Michigan for criminal sexual conduct. An interim board must be appointed by February 28\. None of the existing board members may serve on the interim board (except for the five athlete representatives) or rejoin the new board. USA Gymnastics must also cooperate with an independent investigation into how Nassar was allowed to continue abusing young girls while in his position as national team doctor. The USOC also called for all USA Gymnastics members to take part in SafeSport training within three months. The threat of termination was prompted by [more than 150 women coming forward](http://time.com/5116972/larry-nassar-sentenced-reactions/) detailing not only sexual abuse by Nassar but also, in many cases, lack of timely and appropriate action by USA Gymnastics in reporting the abuse to the proper authorities. Nassar was removed from USA Gymnastics in 2016 but it was not until his victims began revealing the abuse at his sentencing hearing last week that USA Gymnastics took actions that many of the gymnasts, including Raisman and Biles, were calling for over the past year — such as replacing the board and [closing the national training center](http://time.com/5108887/usa-gymnastics-sexual-abuse-karolyi-ranch/) at the Karolyi ranch where much of the abuse occurred. In a statement, the organization said “USA Gymnastics completely embraces the requirements outlined in the (email). We understand that the requirements imposed by the letter will help us enhance our ability to build a culture of empowerment throughout the organization, with an increased focus on athlete safety and well-being.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5120314/olympic-committee-usa-gymnastics-board-resign/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5120314/olympic-committee-usa-gymnastics-board-resign/"},"headline":"Olympic Committee Demands Entire USA Gymnastics Board Resign Over Sexual Abuse Scandal","datePublished":"2018-01-26T15:16:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T19:02:00.734Z","description":"In an email to USA Gymnastics leadership, the US Olympic Committee (USOC) laid out conditions the organization needed to follow in order to remain the national governing body for gymnastics","url":"https://time.com/5120314/olympic-committee-usa-gymnastics-board-resign/","keywords":["olympics","sexual abuse","Gymnastics","onetime","larry nassar"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte29a8227bc0e7791/6988f948096a94b0196a1376/larry-nassar-sentencing-live.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alice Park","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/alice-park/"}],"articleSection":"Sports","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte29a8227bc0e7791/6988f948096a94b0196a1376/larry-nassar-sentencing-live.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Larry Nassar Sentencing Live","caption":"Larry Nassar Sentencing Live","creditText":"Scott Olson—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/sports/","name":"Sports"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/olympics/","name":"olympics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5120314/olympic-committee-usa-gymnastics-board-resign/","name":"Olympic Committee Demands Entire USA Gymnastics Board Resign Over Sexual Abuse Scandal"}}]}] ```
