Jordyn Wieber Senate testimony on Nassar sexual abuses

2012 Olympic Gold medal winning gymnast Jordyn Wieber tells members of a Senate subcommittee that team doctor Larry Nassar acted like a friend with a sympathetic ear for complaints about coaches, bringing food, candy and coffee when athletes were hungry, all grooming techniques used to manipulate and brainwash her into trusting him. Weaver says he performed a procedure convincing her it would help her hamstring injury but she had no idea he was sexually abusing her for his own benefit, it felt strange but he was the national team doctor, that she had talked with teammates Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney about the treatment and none could understand it. Wieber says the gymnasts bodies were all hanging by a thread in London and the USAG sent them a doctor who was an abuser and a child molester, wondering still how he could have been allowed to do that for so long.
