ALY RAISMAN has become the latest US gymnast to criticise the country’s governing body for hiring Mary Bono as interim president and chief executive.

Former Republican congresswoman Bono was appointed by USA Gymnastics (USAG) last week, with the organisation still dealing with the fallout from the sexual abuse scandal involving former USAG doctor Larry Nassar, of whom Raisman and fellow Olympic gold medallist Simone Biles were both victims.

Following Biles’s criticism of Bono’s appointment over the weekend, Raisman pointed out that Bono previously held a role at law firm Faegre Baker Daniels and noted that lawyers at the company were aware of allegations against Nasser, who was jailed for life earlier this year, as far back at 2015.
