I do feel that, in order to support those younger gymnasts, that the older ones should walk away from the Olympics next year and put their energies into making sure that this type of issue is stamped out. I don't think that they should be saying 'it happened to me' but continuing.
One has to be aware of Clubs that have a no-parent rule

. I left my dog for a shampoo and 'set' many years ago and wasn't allowed to go with her, the 3rd time she sat down and didn't want to go in. I regret to this day not listening to her, I heard later that a dog had been drugged in order to get it hand stripped etc.; he had to be PTS due to trauma behind closed doors
