Following our 18-month long investigation into the systemic abuse of amateur and Olympic athletes, Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and I released a report on Tuesday detailing the results of our extensive investigation, which confirmed several instances where the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC), USA Gymnastics, Michigan State University, and even the FBI, failed to protect young athletes by failing to quickly act on credible claims of abuse at the hands of team coaches or doctors.
We also introduced sweeping reform legislation, the Empowering Olympic and Amateur Athletes Act of 2019, to help prevent the future abuse of athletes and to reform the Olympic movement. Our bipartisan bill will empower and protect Olympic and amateur athletes through three key reforms.
