The U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) is now calling for every member of the USA Gymnastics board to resign by the end of the month, as a fresh start for the organization after a sexual assault scandal by one of its former doctors.
Scott Blackmun, CEO of the USOC, sent an email to the USA Gymnastics (USAG) board Thursday saying that it would lose its status as the nation’s governing organization for gymnastics unless each member resigned by Jan. 31, according to USA Today.
The USOC will also decertify the organization if it does not put an interim board in place by February 28, Blackmun said in the email.
The chairman, vice chairman and treasurer for USAG resigned on Monday, but Blackmun has demanded that all of the 21 board members resign immediately.
