Gymnast @Aly_Raisman calls “SafeSport” a “complete mess." Likens its response to athletes’ reports of abuse “like playing hot potato” in which one person punts to another. Adds that bc it’s funded by USOPC, it's “likely not going to do the right thing”-rather “keep the PR good.”

When asked what the gymnasts thought about the U.S. Center for SafeSport, some of them laughed and shook their heads. Choosing her words carefully, Aly Raisman said, "I don't like SafeSport" -- it's like the officials there play hot potato with cases and get nothing done.

"A really big issue is that SafeSport is funded by USAG & USOPC... It needs to be completely separate. SafeSport needs a lot of work." -- @Aly_Raisman
