McKayla Maroney: I was forced to compete on broken foot thanks to Larry Nassar

Former US gymnast McKayla Maroney, who won a gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics, has revealed that she was forced to compete in London on a broken foot after team doctor Larry Nassar lied to the coach about the injury.

The now-25-year-old — who has said she is among hundreds of victims, including Simone Biles, sexually abused by the former osteopathic physician for USA Gymnastics — opened up about her Olympic experience on Instagram on Saturday. “You guys know I competed on the Olympic team as a vaulter. I also came in ready for floor, but as soon as I got to London I broke my foot,” Maroney says in one video, claiming Nassar knew about the injury around the time of the 2012 Olympics but hid it from the team’s coach.
