Number of victims[edit]

"The total number of women and girls who say they are survivors in the Larry Nassar case is now around 500. Michigan State University reached a $500 million settlement with 332 survivors in May, and the Michigan Legislature extended the time survivors could come forward with a claim through September 10." From OCT 19, 2018 - Jclaxp talk 12:21, 2 July 2020 (UTC) ^[1][reply]

The number of known sexual abuse victims of former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar has grown to 265, a Michigan judge has said.^[2]--APS ^talk 18:13, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Athlete A[edit]

I believe the Athlete A article needs adding to both this article and the Larry Nassar article. I wonder if it should be merged into them both and then nominated for deletion. I've noted this on the other talk pages Talk:Athlete A Talk:Larry Nassar. Jclaxp talk 12:34, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Former Athletes?[edit]

Some of them still come out for TeamUSA, like S. Biles.
