Superstar gymnast Simone Biles broke down in tears as she and other top US gymnasts McKayla Maroney, Maggie Nichols and Aly Raisman accused the FBI of turning a blind eye to the sexual abuse perpetrated by sicko sports doctor Larry Nassar.

“It truly feels like the FBI turned a blind eye to us and went out of its way to help protect USAG and USOPC,” Biles said.

Biles suggested the trauma of the botched FBI investigation played a part in her shocking withdrawal from the Olympic team final and several individual events at the Tokyo Olympic Games.

“As the lone competitor in the recent Tokyo Games who was a survivor of this horror, I can assure you the impacts of this man’s abuse are not ever over or forgotten,” she said.

Still, Biles said she was determined to ensure one of Nassar’s victims was competing at Tokyo so the abuse — and mishandled investigation — could not be ignored.

“I was molested by the US gymnastics national team and Olympic team doctor Larry Nassar,” the gymnast said.

Nichols, the first known gymnast to report Nassar’s sexual abuse, said she is “haunted” by the FBI’s handling of the abuse — which she described as a “cover-up.”.

“I am haunted by the fact that even after reporting my abuse, so many women and girls had to suffer at the hands of Larry Nassar,” Nichols said.
