Olympic gymnastics champions Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney and Aly Raisman and World champion Maggie Nichols called on Congress Wednesday to dissolve the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee’s board of directors.

All four are survivors of sexual abuse by former USOPC and USA Gymnastics team physician Larry Nassar. They wrote in a letter that the board should be replaced with leaders who will “Responsibly investigate the systemic problem of sexual abuse within Olympic organizations -- including the USOPC -- and all efforts to conceal it.”
