Congress has had mixed results in dabbling with sports policies, most notably when they investigated steroid use in MLB over a decade ago. Most of the time I feel that Congress has better things to do then dabbling into sports but Sally Jenkins puts up a great case for them to investigate the USOC . It's not an easy read :https://www.washingtonpost.com/spor...d2991367d9d_story.html?utm_term=.430d3d6d7bba
Here is a quote :
"Let’s put those pieces together — and understand why Nassar’s trial should be just the start of the investigation and not an end. His years of criminal sexual assaults on gymnasts could have happened only with the assistance of U.S. sports officials and coaches, such as Martha and Bela Karolyi and John Geddert, who let Nassar violate basic medical norms on their watch. It could have happened only because they were willfully blind to his “pelvic adjustments” on young women athletes, for which there was no good reason. It could have happened only because they failed to exercise the most basic, common, fundamental good sense in protecting children, allowing him to probe girls ungloved and sequester himself with them without any nurse present. Here is how negligent they were: The girls were required to see him in their hotel and dorm rooms at night. Alone. On their beds."
