Young women abused by Larry Nassar called on Texas officials to investigate what USA Gymnastics coach Martha Karolyi knew about Nassar's abuse and when she knew it, they said during a press conference Thursday.
Bela and Martha Karolyi, the couple who ran the famed Karolyi Ranch gymnastics training center in Texas, are suing the United States Olympic Committee and USA Gymnastics.
