My Topic: Gymnastics Politics and The Sexual Assault Case Against Dr. Larry Nassar

I am trying to prove that actions should be taken in USAG gymnastics so that this never happens again and try and make this sport safer.

Question:
1. How many years was Dr. Nassar committing these crimes? (Factual)
      20 years
2. How many gymnasts did Dr. Nassar sexually abuse? (Factual)
      More than 30 women are coming forward about being sexual abused
3. What are the ages of the gymnasts? (Factual)
           underage to adult women

           Dr. Nassar is pleading not guilty saying that his actions where justified and not abuse
5. How did the United States of America Gymnastics (USAG) let this go on? (Inductive)
            The gymnasts reported that they believe it was normal because he abused all of them so they did not speak up
6. Did anyone on the board for USAG know of this activity? (Inductive)
            Some athlete say they tried to come forward but nothing was ever done about it until now
7. How is this similar to issues in other sports? (Analytical)
            This is similar to the issue at Penn State
8. Are there any other cases with sexual abuse in the sport? (Analytical)
            Unforuntanley because of the close bond with gymnasts and their doctors and coaches this             happens more often then it should.
9. How can this be stoped in the future? (Analytical )
           USAG has no implemented a safe sport program to stop this from happening
10. What is the safe sport program going to do? (inductive)
          Safe sport is going to educate about the dangers of abuse in the sport and how to keep the gymnasts safe from abuse in the gymnastics world
