Well, that's the thing. Those who have the most to lose are kids like GYMOMS daughter, and that's unfortunate because they haven't done anything wrong and have dedicated much of their young lives to going as far as they can in the sport. Obviously, a rebuilding would cause USA Gymnastics (or whatever the new name might be!) to lose a little bit of their stride while the kinks are worked out (maybe not enough funding to go to as many international meets, etc.). That's not fair. When you weigh that against continuing the status quo, though, I feel there's no question what should be done. That said, I recognize that that's pretty easy to say being removed from National Team processes, etc.
Very good points. Again takes me back to Penn State. Those kids on the team did nothing wrong either. Tough situation gymnastics finds itself in.
