Larry Nassar’s sexual abuse scandal became a sudden conversation issue in the midst of the reaction against Simone Biles for defending Trans athletes in women’s sports. Some critics, including the objective of Biles in their social networks, Riley Gaines, pointed out the abuse perpetrated by Nassar while criticizing the position of biles in trans athletes.
Then, on Wednesday, a spokesman for the US gymnastics. Uu. He told Pak Gazette Digital that the transgender eligibility policy of the organization and resource pages were eliminated from their website in May, to “evaluate compliance with the current legal landscape.”
The main lawyer of the gymnasts of American women who were affected by Nassar, John Manly, intervened in the comparisons between Nassar’s abuse and male biological inclusion in women’s sports.
“Larry Nassar was sexually assaulting the children, that is fundamentally different,” Manly told Pak Gazette Digital.

However, Manly believes that the leadership of the USA Gymnastics and his method of deciding to allow trans athletes in the women’s category is the same type of leadership method that allowed the Nassar scandal to occur.
“I think it’s precisely correct,” said Manly. “[Female gymnasts] They are in that position with that trans athlete in the costumes due to the organizations that create policies. … In that same Token, Larry Nassar was created and allowed him to flourish because they had no policies that prevented precisely what he was doing. He was treating the girls in the rooms of his solo hotels in his beds, during the Olympic Games, there is no policy against him. “
Manly added: “Athletes are not the first in this system, they are not. Money and medals are, and the people who direct it are first.”
President Donald Trump signed his executive order to “keep men out of women’s sports” in February, but the order only applies to institutions that receive federal funds, while they are used by Gymnastics and the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) are private entities.
As a lawyer, Manly questioned the validity of the recent excuse of the organization of “compliance with the current legal landscape” to eliminate policy pages.
“That’s a lot of nonsense,” Manly said. “That is a corporate company for” we are concerned that political winds have changed and people are having a faint vision of politics “and do not want to become Bud Light.”
“The reason why Larry Nassar happened, one, is because they did not put athletes first, and two, because they slid and tried to cover it, and [it’s] The same here. Make a decision, stand out and defig it. “

Even so, unlike Nassar, Manly believes that guilt does not always fall on trans athletes themselves, especially those who have minors. Manly, who has known Biles for several years, believes that the gymnast was trying to make a similar point in her recent controversial on social networks, but was “misunderstood.”
“I think it is a misunderstanding. I think that I suspect that what Simone was trying to say is’ We should not blame children, athletes, to compete when these organizations allow it. But I have not spoken with her about it … I respect Riley Gaines and obviously respect and love Simone, and I wish that it has not happened, but I can’t talk to that,” Manly said.
In December 2021, Manly helped biles and other women’s female gymnasts.
Since then, the lawyer has followed the impact of the problem on the legal panorama, with one eye to the demand of Gaines against the NCAA for the inclusion of the Biological Male “Will” Thomas in the Women’s Swimming Championship of the NCAA of 2022.
“I think it’s really important,” Manly said on the impact of Gaines’ demand on the history of women’s sport. “The way that develops will determine whether women’s sports will continue as we know or if it will change … the fact that NCAA has not only owned and reach an agreement with it is shocking for me.”
Manly says he would consider submitting his own demand against Usopc if an American Olympic approached him with a legitimate case.
“I would present them to protect women, to protect female athletes, but you should not have to present those cases, what should happen is that Usopc should intervene and say ‘they were going to protect our athletes and we will have clarity,” he said.
While Manly expects policies to be clear and allow fair competition in time for the Los Angeles Olympic Games, he says that “he has no confidence”, the policies will be at that point in the summer of 2028 if the current leadership of USAPC remains in power.
“I have no hope of anything with this board,” he said.
