USA Gymnastics' longtime chief operating officer Ron Galimore has resigned,

USA Gymnastics published yesterday, that it's longtime chief operating officer has resigned, the organization, becoming the latest in a string of top officials to leave the sport's national governing body after a sex abuse scandal involving former team doctor Larry Nassar. The board of directors accepted COO Ron Galimore's resignation, the organization said in a statement, without elaborating.
Galimore, a member of the 1980 Olympic team, said in a statement provided to USA TODAY Sports late Friday: "I resigned from my position with both a degree of sadness but also the hope that my departure may aid USA Gymnastics in pursuing its vision for a new beginning as it undergoes restructuring with a renewed sense of focus on creating a safe place for children to learn gymnastics."
Galimore was the highest-ranking official still working for USA Gymnastics after widespread sexual abuse allegations against Nassar became public in 2016. He had been its COO since 2011.
