#8 - USA Gymnastics tried to keep it quiet

USA Gymnastics tried everything they could possibly do to keep this scandal from reaching national headlines.

In fact, once Larry Nassar was finally arrested in 2016 after sexually assaulting more than 260 individuals under the guise of medical treatment for roughly two decades, USA Gymnastics tried to pay for the silence of several of his victims, namely two of the world's most high-profile gymnasts.

The organization forced McKayla Maroney to sign a non-disclosure agreement so that she would not speak about the sexual assault that she was forced to endure at the hands of Nassar. She was paid $1.25 million to enter this agreement, and she faced the threat of $100,000 if she spoke out anyway.
